Hungarys state debt manger AKK sold HUF 37.5bn (EUR 132.2mn) in three, five and ten-year bonds, as it cut the offer of five and ten-year bonds due to weak demand, the agency said on its website.

The average yield stood at 6.35%, or 32bps over the level from the previous auction held on October 18 but 6bps below the secondary market benchmark.
