In its update to the financing plan, IGCP revealed that it “foresees the issue of Treasury bonds via auctions, with placements of between €1,000 and €1,250 million per auction being expected,” with only one Treasury bill auction scheduled for now.

In this last quarter of the year, the agency led by Cristina Casalinho has scheduled for November 17 a double auction of six and 12-month Treasury bills, in which it pretends to raise between €1,000 and €1,250 million.
