The borrowing estimate is $ 3,055 billion higher than announced in February 2020. The increase in private-held net marketable borrowing is primarily driven by the impact of the covid-19 outbreak, including expenditures include the deferral of individual and business taxes from April-June Until July, and an increase in the assumed end-of-in-June Treasury Cash Balance.
