In economics, intragovernmental holdings (also known as intragovernmental debt or intragovernmental obligations) are Government Account Series (GAS) securities held by government trust funds, revolving funds and special funds. [1]

Intragovernmental debt is incurred when the government borrows from federal trust funds to help fund current operations.[2]
