EUR 22,356,711,400 has already been subscribed to the new one-year state certificate issued by the Belgian government. This is reported by the Debt Agency. Thanks to a reduced withholding tax, the government bond yields 2.81 percent net.
More than 13.4 billion euros were collected through the financial institutions in six days. Here, the Debt Agency has not noticed any delay in registrations. “They continued at the same impressive rhythm,” says Jean Deboutte of the Debt Agency.
Directly, via the Ledgers, nearly 8.95 billion euros were subscribed. Thursday was the last day to subscribe directly, the money must be in the Agency’s account by today at the latest. Amounts that are later received on the account will be refunded.
The rhythm of registrations via the Ledgers was somewhat lower on the last day Thursday. “As expected, investors wanted to avoid a last-minute mishap. That is sensible”, says Deboutte.
6.69 billion
The DSTA does emphasize that that amount has not yet been acquired and that registrations via the Ledgers may not be honored. The Debt Agency received a total of more than 6.69 billion euros on its account on Friday afternoon.
277,510 entries were recorded for the Ledgers. The average amount per registration is therefore more than 32,000 euros. Deboutte added on Friday that people who have correctly registered for the government bond via the Ledgers will normally see their registration visible in their portfolio on the website www.destaatsbons.be from Monday.
The Debt Agency already announced some consequences of the successful placement of the government bond on its financing plan on Friday. For example, the Treasury certificate with a maturity date of March 7, 2024 will not be offered on September 5, and the Treasury certificate with a maturity date of September 12, 2024 will not be offered at the auctions of September 12, 2023 and October 10, 2023.
Further measures will be communicated early next week once the final amount of the one-year government bond is known, the Agency said.
