Banks offered exactly RON75 million, central bank data showed. The average yield was 4.94%, unchanged from Thursday, when the ministry sold RON500 million in a reopening of the ten-year bond.
The ministry sold state treasuries worth RON4.31 billion in April, up from RON2.84 billion raised a month earlier.
For the second quarter of 2014, the ministry has announced an indicative target of RON12 billion to RON14 billion, of which about 25% will be short-term debt.
So far in 2014, Romania sold RON13.9 billion in leu-denominated notes and EUR678.7 million at three 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, and EUR1.25 billion in a ten-year Eurobond sale last week. (EUR1=RON4.4625)
