Serbia will action a EUR 50mn issue of euro-denominated two-year Treasury notes on March 26, the finance ministry's treasury department said in a statement. The issue will have an annual coupon of 5.75%, the statement said. In case the ministry does not manage to sell out the complete issue, it will be later reopened. This will be Serbia's second euro-denominated debt auction this year. It sold EUR 55.2mn worth of euro-denominated 53-week Treasury notes on February 20, or 46% of the total on offer, at an annual discount rate of 5.95%. Demand totalled EUR 94.5mn versus EUR 120mn on offer as only 19 of the all 26 filed bids were accepted. Previously, Serbia last offered investors euro-denominated securities on July 4, 2011, when it sold 99.83% of a EUR 150mn issue of 18-month T-notes at a discount, yielding 5.4%. Demand in the July 2011 auction totalled EUR 183.8mn. |
