The ministry planned to sell RON400 million at today’s auction but book orders were barely above the limit, at RON401.5 million, central bank data showed.
The bond, which was lunched in July, was reopened in August when the ministry raised RON200 million at an average yield of 4.28% a year.
The issue will be reopened tomorrow in a bid to raise RON60 million at a supplementary non-competitive sale.
The ministry plans to sell a little over RON3 billion in state treasuries in September.
So far in 2014, the country sold RON29.1 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 EUR1.25 billion in a ten-year Eurobond sale in April. (EUR1=RON4.4029)
