Treasury bills, treasury notes, often just treasuries

Interest-bearing, short- to medium-term debt obligations of the government in bill-like form. – In the U.S.A., a distinction is made between – short-term Treasury bills with a term of 3 to 12 months and – medium-term Treasury notes with a term of 1 to 5 years. – In the wake of the subprime crisis, the price of U.S. Treasury bills rose so sharply at times in the fall of 2008 that the yield fell to zero: a sign of investors’ lack of confidence in any kind of non-public security. – Most countries in the world have invested their USD currency reserves in Treasury notes. – See dollar crash, rescription, safe haven flows, promissory bill, vault bill.
