Investors’ demand strengthened to CZK 12.4bn from CZK 9.5bn helping cut the average annual yield to 1.912% from 1.949% in January. This was the 16th tranche of the issue.

The ministry also sold CZK 6bn of the 15.5-year bonds that mature on August 25, 2028 and carry a coupon of 2.5%, up from CZK 4bn sold at the previous auction held on January 15. This was the ninth tranche of the issue that produced an average yield of 2.938%, down from 3.087% at the January sale. Investors placed CZK 12.8bn worth of bids, compared to CZK 9.6bn in January. The ministry was planning to sell between CSK 3bn and CZK 7bn of the 2021 bonds and between CZK 2bn and CZK 6bn of the 2028 bonds.

Bonds with a maximum nominal value of CZK 50bn to CZK 60bn will be offered for sale in the first quarter of 2014.
