EUROZONE ISSUANCE: EGB Supply
Germany will look to hold another auction this week, while Finland held a syndication and Germany already held a green auction this week. Overall, issuance remains light during the summer. We pencil in estimated gross issuance for the week at E10.1bln, down from E18.2bln last week.
- On Wednesday, Germany will return to the market to sell E4.5bln of the 10-year 2.60% Aug-34 Bund (ISIN: DE000BU2Z031).
- Note Spain has cancelled its auction that had been due to be held on Thursday.

EUROZONE ISSUANCE: EGB Supply - W/C 22 July, 2024
- On Thursday, Italy will conclude issuance for the week by holding a BTP Short Term and BTPei auction. We think that there is a good chance that the new BTP Short Term maturing 28 August 2026 will be launched. Details will be announced later today.
- We think there is a chance that Italy chooses to hold a syndication (following this week’s buyback), potentially to launch the new 10-year BTP with a maturity date of 1 February 2035. If there is a syndication, we pencil in a size of around E10bln.
