Series I Savings Bond investments in June totalled $386.8 million, about 69% of the month's total Savings Bond investments of $559.2 million. Series EE accounted for the rest of the sales, at about $172.3 million. For the October to September fiscal year, the projection for total Savings Bond investments is currently slightly below the previous year and significantly below the two years before that.
