NextGen EU funding moves to auctions and EU-bills

In September, the EU will issue bills through the auction system operated by the Banque de France for the French Trésor. But they will not immediately be a reference safe asset for European capital markets.

In September, the EU will launch its first auction of short-dated EU-bills, as part of a NextGenerationEU funding programme scheduled to raise €80 billion in the second half of 2021.

It had already raised $45 billion by the end of July, through three syndicated issues of long-term bonds, including a €20 billion 10 year that was its largest single tranche deal to date, and a €10 billion 20 year that drew a record €100 billion of investor orders.
