Demand for government securities recovers, debt manager raises issue volume.





Demand for government securities recovers, debt manager raises issue volume. Investor demand for government securities picked up at the latest auction for three-month T-bills, prompting the State Debt Management Agency (AKK) to increase the volume of the float, the AKK informed. Bids at the auction amounted to HUF 145bn, providing a coverage ratio against the initial supply of 3.6. Consequently, the AKK floated HUF 50bn of the T-bills or HUF 10bn more than the planned. The average yield at the auction stood at 8.62% and rose by 12bps over the secondary market benchmark rate despite the strong demand. It was also up by 1bps from the average yield, achieved at the previous auction one week ago and has stagnated at approximately this level since mid-July.
