The nominal value of this supplementary issue was RON 75 million, with banks submitting bids totaling RON 150 million (€30 million).

For March 2025, the Ministry of Finance has outlined plans to borrow RON 7.4 billion (€1.5 billion) from commercial banks. An additional RON 840 million (€169 million) could be raised through supplementary non-competitive bid sessions linked to these bond auctions.

The total planned borrowing for March, reaching RON 8.24 billion (€1.65 billion), surpasses February's scheduled amount by RON 200 million (€40 million). 

These funds are earmarked for refinancing public debt and covering the state budget deficit.
