London (Thomson Financial). - The Irish government today raised 5,000 million euros in the first state bond debt to ten years that the country has to end since it was rescued in November 2010.
The National Treasury Management (NTMA) placed Irish debt maturing in 2023 at an interest rate of 4.15 percent through Barclays, Danske Bank, Davy Stockbrockers, HSBC, Goldman Sachs and Nomura.
According to local media, the demand reached 13,000 million euros for the first debt auction ten years since the European Union (EU) and International Monetary Fund (IMF) gave a bailout to Ireland quantified at 85,000 million euros.
The auction, which analysts put on track to return from Ireland to the debt markets planned for later this year, following the sale of five-year bonds in January reported that 2,500 million euros to the Irish Government.
From two months before the bailout, the country decided not to debt markets until July 2012, when he placed 500 million euros in bonds to three months at an interest rate of 1.8 percent.
The last time Ireland issued debt to ten years, in September 2010, bonds maturing in 2020 were placed in markets with an interest rate of 3.7 percent, 0.45 points lower than that marked today.
