"While we are completing meetings on six-year euro-denominated eurobonds with investors in London and preparing for a flight to Frankfurt, the Finance Ministry's team is simultaneously implementing our three-year debt management strategy in the domestic market. Another victory! A six-year instrument at 15.85% [per annum]," she wrote on Facebook on June 11.
Noteworthy, this was the first issue of such government domestic bonds.
As UNIAN reported earlier, Ukraine's Finance Ministry has borrowed UAH 6.479 billion, or US$245.4 million, and US$4.4 million for the national budget at the latest weekly auction to place government domestic loan bonds.
At the same time, over half of the funds, or UAH 3.422 billion ($129.6 million), was raised due to the debut placement of bonds with 2,086-day maturity period, or six years, and a yield of 15.85% per annum.
