Bulgaria’s Finance Ministry has issued BGN 200 M worth of 10-1/2 year government bonds at a weighted average yield of 2.58%, as the issue was oversubscribed.
The spread to the German Bunds in this maturity segment is 210 basis points, the Finance Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.
Investors subscribed for BGN 225 M worth of government bonds in Monday’s auction.
