The Finance Ministry sold two-year bonds with a 9% yield for USD 16.1 mln and 3-year bonds with a yield of 9.4% for another USD 4.1 mln at its auction yesterday. The government’s next auction is scheduled for November 23. Oleksandr Klymchuk: The government has placed local bonds for more than USD 200 mln since the renewal of its auctions this September. Now the volume of these two and three-year securities are quite liquid in Ukrainian terms (exceeding USD 100 mln each). Notably half of the bonds the government sold after the placement of its Eurobonds last week and all the local bonds attracted this year constitute only 56% of the amount of local government securities redeemed in September-November.
