Current Issue

In Treasury securities, the most recent issue. Current issues trade much more actively than older issues of Treasury securities. At any given time, there is a current issue for each type of Treasury security: notes, bills, and bonds and all their subcategories with different maturities. For example, a 20-year Treasury bond and a 30-year Treasury bond have two different current issues, but, in both cases, it is the most recently auctioned one. The current issue is also the on-the-run issue. See also: Off-the-run issue.

The most recently issued Treasury security of a particular type. For 13-week Treasury bills that are auctioned each Monday, the current issue is the bill issued on the most recent Monday.
