The total demand was HRK 389mn. Investors bid mostly for one-year T-bills (HRK 189mn), while the demand for three-month and six-month T-bills was HRK 150mn and HRK 50mn respectively. The yield on one-year T-bills remained unchanged, while the yield on three-month T-bills increased by 0.1pps to 4.20% and on six-moth bills rose by 0.2pps to 5.20%. The stock of the short-term government debt after the auction amounted to HRK 11.86bn. The next auction is planned for Jul 8, when the ministry intents to sell the total amount of HRK 200mn T-bills.
