The Ministry of Finance (MF) on Thursday borrowed RON 2.233 billion off banks in two issues of government bonds, according to data published by the National Bank of Romania (NBR).
It raised RON 1.16 billion in a government bond issue of a residual maturity of 15 months, at an average yield of 5.92% per annum. The nominal value of the issue was RON 800 million, and the banks offered RON 2.945 billion. An additional auction is scheduled for Friday for another RON 174 million at the yield set on Thursday for the bonds.
The ministry raised RON 1.073 million in another issue of government bonds of a residual maturity of 73 months, at an average yield of 6.4% per annum. The value of the issue was RON 500 million, and the banks offered RON 2.861 billion. An additional auction is scheduled for Friday for another RON 161 million at the yield set on Thursday for the bonds.
MF has planned for February 2026 to borrow RON 7.7 billion off commercial banks, to which 15% of the nominal value of the reference auctions can be added in additional sessions of non-competitive offers exclusively for benchmark instruments.
The total amount of RON 7.7 billion is RON 2.3 billion lower than the one scheduled for January 2026 of RON 10 billion, and it is intended for public debt refunding and government deficit financing.
