MinFin raises UAH 1.2 bln from local bond sale
31 October 2018
Ukraine’s Finance Ministry raised UAH 14.8 mln, USD
37.0 mln and EUR 3.1 mln (a total of UAH 1.2 bln in the equivalent) at an Oct.
31 auction after raising the equivalent of UAH 1.8 bln at an auction last week.
The highest auction receipts – USD 37.0 mln – came
from the sale of 8M local Eurobonds, which were sold to 13 bidders at 7.0%.
Seven bidders bought 1Y EUR-denominated bonds for EUR 3.1 mln at 4.6%. The
government sold 3M UAH-denominated bonds to eight bidders for UAH 14.8 mln at
19.0% while declining one bid at 19.4%.
Evgeniya Akhtyrko: Next month, the government will have less pressure in terms of raising
local debt in foreign currency. During the month, there will be only one
redemption of local Eurobonds for USD 132.8 mln (vs. USD 501 mln and EUR 210
mln in October). Besides, the government coffers have been refilled with
foreign currency after the latest placements of international Eurobonds for USD 2
bln.
