  • We expect the transaction to take place today and to have a size of E6.0bln.
  • Syndication history: Belgium held two syndications in 2021: the 10-year 0% Oct-31 OLO on 12 January which saw E6bln sold from books of E50bln and the 50-year 0.65% Jun-71 OLO for E5bln on 2 February with books for E53bln.
  • Future syndications: MNI expects a 30-year OLO to be launched via syndication in February.
  • Last auction: The last auction of the 0% Oct-31 OLO was on 27 September and saw E1.482bln sold at a yield of 0.10% with a bid-to-cover of 1.62x.
