The Ministry of Finance (MF) has borrowed RON 833 million (around €167.3 million) from banks through two state bond issues, according to data published by the National Bank of Romania (BNR).

The MF raised RON 500 million (around €100.5 million) through a state bond issue with a residual maturity of 30 months, at an average yield of 6.76% per annum. The nominal value of the issue was RON 500 million, with banks subscribing RON 1.099 billion (€221.2 million).

An additional auction is scheduled for Friday, through which the state aims to attract a further RON 75 million (€15.1 million) at the yield established on Thursday for the bonds.

The Ministry also raised RON 333 million (€66.9 million) through a separate state bond issue with a residual maturity of 105 months, at an average yield of 6.88% per annum. The issue value was RON 500 million, and banks subscribed RON 478 million (€96.2 million).

A supplementary auction is scheduled for Friday, aiming to raise an additional RON 75 million at the yield set on Thursday for the bonds.

The MF planned to borrow a total of RON 6.8 billion (€1.36 billion) from commercial banks in November 2025.

This amount could be supplemented by RON 945 million (€190 million) through additional non-competitive offer sessions, related to the bond auctions.

The total sum, RON 7.74 billion (€1.55 billion), is RON 245 million (€49.3 million) lower than the amount planned for October this year, which was RON 7.99 billion (€1.60 billion).

These funds will be allocated to refinancing and early repayment of public debt and financing the state budget deficit.
