The Ministry of Finance on Friday attracted 105 million lei from banks, in addition to Thursday’s auctions, when it borrowed 781 million lei, at interest rates of 7.33% per year and 7.26% per year, respectively, through two benchmark government bond issues.

The nominal value of the two additional issues was 75 million lei and 30 million lei, respectively. The banks submitted offers worth 105 million lei and 60 million lei, respectively.

The Ministry of Finance (MF) planned, in August 2025, loans from commercial banks worth 5.8 billion lei, to which the amount of 810 million lei can be added through additional sessions of non-competitive bids, related to bond auctions.

The total amount, 6.61 billion lei, is 15 million lei higher than the one scheduled in July this year, 6.595 billion lei, and will be intended for the refinancing and early repayment of public debt and financing the state budget deficit.
