EGB FUNDING UPDATE: German DFA Q4 issuance plan due tomorrow morning

Sep-17 14:36
  • Q4 issuance plans are due for release tomorrow at 9:00BST / 10:00CET.
  • This will incorporate the addition of 7-year Bund auctions but with December a quiet month for German auctions, it is likely the increase in overall bond issuance will be less than Q3’s E15bln.
  • All in all, we think that this would see bond issuance increase by E12-13bln (versus E15bln in Q3).
  • We have less conviction regarding Bubill issuance – seeing two way risks to the E4bln that was added to Q3’s schedule.
  • We think that there is scope to increase the two Schatz taps by E1.0bln each to E5.0bln and E4.5bln respectively (potentially to E5.0bln for both).
  • 10-year Bund auctions can be increased to E5.0bln each, too, which would add E3.5bln to issuance.
  • The DFA may be hesitant to add to Bobl issuance given that it will be adding 7-year Bund auctions to the scheduled. We expect two 7-year Bund auctions but of a smaller E3bln size (relative to the E4bln size seen in Q3).
  • We also think there is scope to add a second 15-year Bund auction to the quarter (at present there is only one). This may be preferable to increasing the size of the scheduled 15/30-year auctions.
