The Ministry of Public Finances (MFP) drew EUR 447 M on Friday by selling bonds denominated in foreign currencies, the sum being EUR 147 M above the indicative value of EUR 300, at a benefit of 5.25 per cent per year, banking sources stated for Mediafax.
The information was confirmed through a communiqué issued by the central bank. The tender for bonds denominated in foreign currencies targeted the internal market alone and was the first operation of its kind in the last five years. 11 banks took part in the tender, buying bonds of at least EUR 30 M apiece, bonds that will fall due in four years' time.
The banks that took part in the tender were: Alpha Bank, BRD, Carpatica Commercial Bank (BCC), Romanian Commercial Bank (BCR), Transylvania Bank, Bancpost, CEC Bank, Citibank, Raiffeisen Bank, RBS Bank and UniCredit Tiriac Bank. The banks bought bonds worth EUR 437 M on their behalf, with the EUR 10 M difference being subscribed to their customers' accounts.
