Despite the surge in demand, the government only issued an additional HUF 10 bln more in T-bills than it had originally planned, according to Portfolio.hu. The demand drove yields down to 2.25% and 2.30%, averaging 2.29%, which marks a 5 bp drop compared to the average yield at the last auction of this maturity a week ago.
This means that the Hungarian government is able to obtain credit more cheaply than it did a year ago, when yields were around 4.5%.
Producing journalism that is worthy of the name is a costly business. For over 30 years, the publishers, editors and reporters of the Budapest Business Journal have striven to bring you business news that works, information that you can trust, that is factual, accurate and presented without fear or favor.Newspaper organizations across the globe have struggled to find a business model that allows them to continue to excel, without compromising their ability to perform. Most recently, some have experimented with the idea of involving their most important stakeholders, their readers.
