Banks offered RON1.32 billion, central bank data showed.
At the most recent reopening of the bond on March 10, the ministry sold RON100 million of 10-year paper at an average annual yield of 5.3%.
The ministry plans to sell state treasuries worth RON4.33 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 to RON14 billion, of which about 25% will be short-term debt.
“Regarding the euro-denominated debt sales, the ministry maintains its policy to cut back on these issues until their cancellation, in line with its objective to strengthen the yield curve on leu-denominated treasuries and to limit the foreign currency risks,” the ministry said in a statement.
Last week, banking sources told Mediafax the ministry plans to take advantage of favorable conditions in international debt markets and issue a 10-year Eurobond within the next two weeks.
They said the ministry has authorized Citigroup, Societe Generale, UniCredit and ING to arrange the bond.
So far in 2014, Romania sold RON11.45 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. (EUR1=RON4.463)
