“We want to see the new market standard… we want to see the new levels, how Greece’s problems will be solved,” Diana Popescu, deputy general manager of the treasury, told the Euromoney conference in Bucharest.
The finance ministry aims to raise between 1 and 1.5 billion euros in its first bond sale on foreign markets this year.
Moreover, a second issue may follow, to rollover previous debt sales, with a value of around EUR500 million.
Romania’s financing plan for this year includes EUR2 billion of foreign loans, a value that can be raised if previous bond issues are refinanced.
In 2014, Romania raised $2 billion and EUR2.75 billion in several bond sales on international markets.
