Book orders amounted to RON1.79 billion, but the ministry sold only the targeted amount.

The yield was slightly lower than 1.63% at the auction of November 10, when the ministry sold RON1 billion in 12-month paper.

In December, the ministry plans to sell debt worth of around RON3.6 billion.

So far in 2014, the country sold around RON40 billion in leu-denominated notes and EUR928.7 million at four 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 raised EUR2.75 billion in two ten-year Eurobond issues.
