Slovenia look to hold syndications while Italy and Finland both still look to hold auctions this week. The EFSF and Austria have already held syndications, and the EU, Italy and Germany have already held auctions. We pencil in estimated gross issuance for the week at E30.7bln, up from E10.1bln last week.

• Slovenia has already opened books for a dual-tranche 3/5-year JPY Samurai issue (the originally planned 7/10-year bonds are not being issued). Pricing for both the 3-year Sep-27 and 5-year Sep-29 JPY Samurai bonds is expected on Thursday. Books closed for AXJ and Europe on Tuesday, and for Japan at 11am Tokyo time on Wednesday.
• On Thursday, Italy will return to the market to hold a 5/10-year BTP and CCTeu auction, including the launch of a new 5-year BTP. On offer will be E4.0-4.5bln of the new 5-year 3.00% Oct-29 BTP (ISIN: IT0005611055), E2.75-3.25bln of the 10-year 3.85% Feb-35 BTP (ISIN: IT0005607970) and E1.0-1.5bln of the 1.05% Apr-32 CCTeu (ISIN: IT0005594467).
