The Ministry of Finance raised on Friday an additional 55 million lei from banks, following Thursday’s auction when it borrowed 500 million lei, through a benchmark government bond issue maturing on April 25, 2035, at an average yield of 7.38% per annum.

The nominal value of the issue was 75 million lei, while banks submitted bids totaling 55 million lei.

In August 2025, the Ministry of Finance (MF) scheduled loans of 5.8 billion lei from commercial banks, to which an additional 810 million lei may be added through supplementary non-competitive bidding sessions related to bond auctions.

The total amount of 6.61 billion lei is 15 million lei higher than the July 2025 program of 6.595 billion lei and will be used for refinancing and early repayment of public debt, as well as financing the state budget deficit.
