The average yield was 4.94%, unchanged from Monday, when the ministry sold RON400 million in a reopening of the five-year bond.

Romania plans to sell leu-denominated treasuries worth RON2.68 billion in March, up from around RON2 billion in the previous month. Also this month, the ministry hopes to raise at least EUR200 million at a five-year Eurobond on March 20.

So far in 2014, Romania sold RON8.55 billion in leu-denominated notes and EUR478.7 million at two euro-denominated auctions on the local market. The ministry also tapped international markets for $2 billion at a two-part U.S. dollar bond issue in January. (EUR1=RON4.5114)
