The ministry had planned to raise 30 million lei (EUR6.9 million) at today’s auction, on top of the planned RON300 million sold in the reopening of the bond issue Monday.
The five-year bond, launched on the local market in April 2012, carries a coupon of 5.9% a year.
The ministry plans to sell state treasuries worth RON3.78 billion in May, above the RON2.5 billion raised a month earlier.
So far in 2013, the Romania sold RON23.87 billion in leu-denominated notes and EUR1.08 billion at two euro-denominated auctions on the local market. Additionally, the ministry tapped international markets for $1.5 billion at a US dollar-bond auction in February. (EUR1=RON4.3485)
