Thus, the MF attracted 569 million lei through a government bond issue with a residual maturity of 173 months, at an average yield of 6.64 percent per year. The nominal value of the issue was 400 million lei and banks subscribed 1.120 billion lei. A supplementary auction is scheduled for Tuesday, through which the state aims to attract a further 85 million lei at the yield set on Monday for the bonds, agerpres reports.
The ministry also attracted 425 million lei through another government bond issue, with a residual maturity of 53 months, at an average yield of 6.08 percent per year. The value of the issue was 800 million lei and banks subscribed 650 million lei. A supplementary auction is scheduled for Tuesday, through which the state aims to attract a further 63.8 million lei at the yield set on Monday for the bonds.
The Ministry of Finance has planned borrowing worth 8 billion lei from commercial banks in March 2026, to which up to 15 percent of the nominal value awarded at reference auctions may be added, through supplementary non-competitive offer sessions organised exclusively for benchmark-type instruments.
The total amount of 8 billion lei, provided for in the issuance prospectuses of discount treasury bills and benchmark government bonds, is 300 million lei higher than the 7.7 billion lei scheduled in February 2026 and will be used for refinancing and early repayment of public debt and for financing the state budget deficit.
