EGB FUNDING UPDATE: Italy 2025 Funding Plan Details (2/3)

EGB FUNDING UPDATE
  • 7-year BTP: Slightly lower issuance than in 2024 (E56.5bln was issued including 2 syndicated launches) with positive net issuance (E33.763bln of redemptions due). At least 2 new lines to be opened. There is no planned new 7-year to be launched via auction in Q1, but we note the possibility of a syndicated launch, likely as part of a dual-tranche transaction, in either February or March would be possible.
  • 10-year BTP: Volume of issuance "in line with or only slightly different" from 2024 when E44.8bln was issued and positive net issuance (E38.383bln maturing). 3 new lines expected to be launched - MNI expects the first of these to be in January via auction.
  • 15-50 year BTPs: Gross issuance could be less than 2024 (E43.2bln) but to be net positive (E23.404bln formerly 15-year BTP is the only redemption). The MEF notes that "particular attention will be paid" to assessing the 20-year area, noting that gross issuance is likely to be higher than 2024 in the 20/50-year areas but lower in the 15/30-year areas.
  • Green BTPs: MEF to evaluate the possibility of a new Green BTP via syndication. Similar volumes of Green BTPs to be sold overall to the E11.4bln sold in 2024.
