BoE urged to sell more short-dated gilts to boost market liquidity - Financial Times

Quick Summary:

Starting gilt sales from bonds with a one-year maturity “would help . . .functionality and liquidity of the market”, he added.

He said he feared it would get worse if the ruling Labour party increases the rate of capital gains tax at next month’s budget but keeps gilts CGT-exempt, as this could increase demand for short-dated bonds.

The most significant worsening of liquidity has been in gilts with a one to three-year maturity, in part because the BoE built up such a large stockpile of these bonds, according to Moyeen Islam, a Barclays gilts strategist.
