The EU and Germany issued a total of E8.0bln this week so far. Spain and France are still scheduled to sell bonds this week, for a further estimated E15.6bln. We look for E23.6bln of gross nominal issuance this week, up from E13.7bln last week.

  • The EU kicked off issuance for the week on Monday, concluding February issuance by selling E2.5bln of the 0% Jul-26 NGEU-Bond.
  • Germany came to the market on Tuesday for a E4.0bln syndicated tap of the 0% Aug-52 Bund.
  • Germany returned to the market yesterday, selling E1.5bln (E1.441bln allotted) of the 0% Aug-30 Green Bund.
  • This morning, Spain will look to sell a total of E4.5-5.5bln of nominals: the 3-year 0% May-25 Bono, the new 7-year 0.80% Jul-29 Obli and the 20-year 1.00% Jul-42 Green Obli. Also on offer will be E250-750mln of the originally 15-year 0.70% Nov-33 Obli-Ei.

NET NOMINAL FLOWS: This week sees one redemption: a former 10-year BTP (5.00% Mar-22) with E20.6bln outstanding. There are also E9.6bln of coupon payments due, of which E8.1bln are Italian and E1.2bln are French.
