April Outlook

  • The MNI Markets team expects gross issuance to be slightly lower in April than in March. We look for E140.2bln of issuance, down from E148.1bln in March.
  • However, April sees the second most redemptions of any month in 2021 and the second most coupon payments, too.
  • In total coupons + redemptions for April are E128.4bln (the highest combined total for 2021).
  • This means net issuance will be just E11.8bln for April, down from E67.6bln in March.
  • We think there is a good chance of syndications in April from Finland, Ireland, Portugal, Slovakia, the EU via its EFSM programme (and possibly SURE), the EFSF and around a 50% chance of a Spanish syndication. The Netherlands has already announced a DDA.

March Review

  • A total of E144.2bln of EGB and EU issuance took place in March 2021. This is an increase of over 31% over the E109.8bln cash raised in March 2020.
  • Note that after the heavy issuance of ultra-long bonds in January and February, there were no bonds issued with a longer than 30-year maturity in March.
