“During my visits to Washington, I had positive feedback from many investors who are waiting for Romania to tap into the American market,” Dragoi told the Romania Financial Forum, an event organized by MEDIAFAX and the central bank.
Romania approved last year a EUR7 billion MTN program to attract international financing. The first issue under the program brought the country EUR1.5 billion at an annual yield of 5.29%, following a five-year bonds auction held in June.
After the sale, Dragoi said the ministry decided to upgrade the program to include US dollar-denominated paper.
