FRANKFURT (MNI) – The German federal government called for bids
Tuesday on its E5 billion top-up of the 2.25%-coupon September 2021,
10-year bund, the Bundesbank announced.
Bids for the top-up are due by 9:00 GMT Wednesday, October 19, with
results of the allocation to be announced shortly thereafter. The top-up
tranche will settle on Friday, October 21.
Given the E11 billion of the 10-year bond already issued, the
top-up will bring total volume outstanding to E16 billion for the
security, which matures on September 4, 2021 and is strippable.
