It was the first 15-year bond sale since June 2005.
The ministry planned to sell paper worth RON300 million at Thursday’s auction. Banks offered RON1.2 billion, but the ministry rejected all yields above 6.99% a year, central bank data showed.
The ministry already exceeded its issuance plan for February, of RON5 billion. It sold RON7.82 billion worth of paper in six out of seven auctions, with the last one expected to raise another RON500 million.
In January, the ministry sold RON9.93 billion in leu-denominated notes and $1.5 billion in US dollar-denominated bonds. (EUR1=RON4.3557)
