“The auction committee decided for a full award of the re-issued Treasury Bonds on the back of strong demand for the security,” the Bureau of Treasury said in a statement after the auction.
Tenders for the government facility reached P33.98 billion, or more than double the the offer of P15 billion.
National Treasurer Rosalia De Leon said the auction results reflected the resilience of the country’s finances despite global headwinds.
