The Ministry of Public Finance on Thursday, February 5, borrowed EUR 136 million from commercial banks, through a bond issue with a 4-year maturity.

It borrowed at a 1.99% yield, a record low for the Romanian state at auctions in the Romanian currency leu, reports local Economica.net.

The Ministry will organize on Friday an additional session to borrow another EUR 20 million, at the yield established the day before.

Romania intends to borrow in 2015 about EUR 2.26-2.72 billion by issuing treasury bills and EUR 5.6 - 6.3 billion through benchmark bonds.
