UK’s funding needs fall but syndication share steady

The UK Debt Management Office (DMO) is forecasting £102.9bn ($143.4bn) of Gilt issuance in 2018/19, a fall of £12.2bn from this financial year, which ends on March 31. But the share of funding to be syndicated is steady — despite some investors over the last few months calling for a reduction in the volume of syndications.
