Floating rate issuance is one of the financial innovations that has attracted the attention of the ‎public and private sectors in recent decades.

Accordingly, the design of this tool should be in a way to bring the utility of both ‎parties to a satisfactory point, which is provided according to the conditions, expectations and ‎economic policies. When the government enters as an economic policy maker, this issue takes on ‎other dimensions, so the issue of economic management of the country, management of ‎government debts and liabilities, the amount of money and liquidity, formation of interest rates in ‎the economy and its relationship with budget deficits, management of economic cycles and its ‎determination is of great importance that should be considered in the design of this tool. Treasury ‎inflation protected securities are a type of floating-rate securities that are often issued by ‎governments, so they need to be studied more carefully in order to be more localized. The present ‎article uses a descriptive-analytical method to examine the advantages and disadvantages of ‎issuing securities for the government. The results of this study show that the economic effects of ‎Treasury Inflation Protected Securities are very different from floating-rate securities, and given ‎the current economic situation of the country with high and variable inflation rates, treasury ‎inflation protected securities are recommended.‎
