The Ministry of Finance attracted 161 million lei from banks on Friday in a supplementary auction, in addition to Thursday's auction, when it borrowed 1.07 billion lei at an annual interest rate of 6.84% through a benchmark government bond issue with a residual maturity of 86 months.
The nominal value of the supplementary issue was 161 million lei. Banks submitted bids totalling 230 million lei.
The Ministry of Finance (MF) has planned borrowing of 7.6 billion lei from commercial banks in June 2026. An additional amount of up to 15% of the nominal value awarded at the reference auctions may also be raised through supplementary non-competitive offer sessions organised exclusively for benchmark instruments.
The 7.6 billion Romanian lei provided for in the issuance prospectuses for discount treasury bills and benchmark government bonds is 3 billion lei higher than the amount scheduled for May 2026, which stood at 4.6 billion lei. The funds will be used for refinancing and early repayment of public debt, as well as financing the state budget deficit.
