The agency sought to sell a total of EUR7 billion to EUR8 billion of the instruments. The 2014-dated BTAN is a new issue, while the two other bonds on offer are reopenings of issues. The new, two-year BTAN comprises a large part of the allocation, in line with expectations.
France usually auctions short- and medium-term conventional bonds, or BTANs, and long-term conventional bonds, or OATs, separately but when the short residual maturity of an OAT fits into a BTAN auction, the agency may decide to add OATs as well.
The following are details of the auction, with the amounts in euro. Figures in brackets are data from the previous auction held April 21, 2011 and March 15, 2012, respectively.
