FRANKFURT--The German Finance Agency will issue 41 billion euros
($45.69 billion) in conventional fixed rate government bonds in the
third quarter of 2017, it said on Thursday, confirming the
preliminary figures it published in December.
The Finance Agency also plans to raise EUR6 billion through the
issuance of treasury bills in the next three months, it said,
leaving its original plan unchanged.
The coming quarter will see four bond launches. The October 2022
Bobl and the August 2027 Bund will come in July, the September
2019-dated Schatz will be launched in August and the August
2048-dated Bund will be first sold in September.
The Finance Agency plans to conduct two auctions for
inflation-linked bonds in the third quarter, one in July and the
other in September. The offer volumes of the linker auctions are
yet to be announced, so they aren't included in the EUR41 billion
issuance.
