The Ministry of Finance (MF) borrowed 903 million lei from banks on Monday through two government bond issues, according to data published by the National Bank of Romania (BNR).

Thus, the MF attracted 366.7 million lei through a government bond issue with a residual maturity of 173 months, at an average annual yield of 6.64%. The nominal value of the issue was 400 million lei, while banks subscribed 476.7 million lei. An additional auction is scheduled for Tuesday, through which the state aims to attract a further 55 million lei at the yield set on Monday for the bonds.

The ministry also attracted 536.3 million lei through another government bond issue, with a residual maturity of 65 months, at an average annual yield of 6.11%. The value of the issue was 400 million lei, while banks subscribed 1.731 billion lei. An additional auction is scheduled for Tuesday, through which the state intends to raise a further 80.5 million lei at the yield set on Monday for the bonds.

In February 2026, the Ministry of Finance planned to borrow 7.7 billion lei from commercial banks, with the possibility of adding 15% of the nominal value allotted at the reference auctions, within the framework of additional non-competitive offer sessions organised exclusively for benchmark-type instruments.

The total amount of 7.7 billion lei provided for in the issuance prospectuses for discount Treasury bills and benchmark government bonds is 2.3 billion lei lower than the 10 billion lei scheduled in January 2026 and will be used for refinancing and early repayment of public debt, as well as for financing the state budget deficit.
