AUSSIE BONDS: The AOFM notes that it is "is well-advanced in achieving the

issuance program announced following the 2019-20 MYEFO. In relation to the

Government today announcing measures in response to the impact of the Novel

Coronavirus, the AOFM is updating the market on planned issuance for the current

financial year. As a result of the announced fiscal measures Treasury Bond

issuance of $1.2 to $1.6 billion is planned for most coming weeks. An

announcement about planned total issuance for this year will be made following

the release of the 2020-21 Budget. The AOFM is closely monitoring market

conditions and will be mindful of these when planning issuance for any

particular week. No new maturities are planned for the remainder of this

financial year. There are no changes to planned Treasury Bond buybacks and again

the AOFM will remain mindful of market conditions and be guided by

intermediaries when deciding specific tender volumes and timing. There are no

changes to planned Treasury Indexed Bond issuance. Treasury Note issuance will

continue as needed for cash management purposes."
