The bond, which was launched in July, was last reopened in November 3, when the ministry raised RON593.6 million at an average yield of 3.83% a year.

Book orders amounted to RON693.4 million Thursday, central bank data showed, and the issue will be reopened tomorrow in a bid to raise RON75 million at a supplementary non-competitive sale.

The ministry plans to sell RON3.6 billion in state treasuries in December.

So far in 2014, the country sold RON37.7 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 10-year Eurobond sales. (EUR1=RON4.4269)
