    In this paper we document and examine unusual fluctuations in the G-Fund, which is one of five funds available in a voluntary federal government employee retirement savings vehicle called the Thrift Savings Plan. The G-Fund is managed as "internally" held debt by the United States Department of Treasury. Our examination highlights two obscure facts about the G-Fund: 1) The fund is exclusively composed of one-day notes that Treasury redeems and reissues every business day. The daily turnover of the G-Fund results in about $55 trillion in debt reissuance annually; and 2) whenever the federal government is constrained by a debt ceiling, the G-Fund balance drops dramatically and typically does not return to pre-constraint balance levels until the debt ceiling is either expanded or suspended. We document these patterns and ask whether the G-Fund is managed in a way the represents the best interests of the fund contributors.

    As the debt ceiling episode unfolds, we highlight a sharp increase in activity across the U.S. credit default swaps (CDS) market and infer the likelihood of a U.S. default from these market prices. Beginning in January 2023, we document a significant increase in U.S. CDS trading activity and positions, accompanied by a spike in CDS premiums. We estimate an increase in the market-implied default probability from about 0.2-0.3% in 2022, to approximately 1% in 2023. Yet, this default probability currently remains lower than what we find for the periods leading up to the 2011 and 2013 debt ceiling episodes, due in part to the cheapening of deliverable Treasury collateral to CDS contracts.
