A new EUR 250 million government debt was assumed on 21 March, at average annual yields of 1.33%, the Bulgarian Ministry of Finance has announced.
Securities maturing on 24 May, 2029 were sold at the auction. Bonds with the same 7.5-year maturity were sold on 22 November 2021, at an interest of 0.49%. Now, investors want a 2.7 times higher performance to finance the government. The loan was taken out because of an urgent need of cash for paying an old Eurobond issue worth EUR 1.25 billion on 26 March. Raising the money needed literally several days earlier places investors in a better position to demand a higher return on their money.
