The Hellenic Public Debt Management Agency (PDMA) has announced the reissue of a 10-year bond through an auction set to occur on February 11, 2026. This bond, with a fixed interest rate of 3.375%, will mature on June 16, 2036, and is designed to meet investor demand while also facilitating the operational efficiency of the secondary bond market. The reissued bonds will be offered in book-entry form, identified by ISIN GR0124042764.
The total amount aimed for in the auction is up to 300 million euros. The settlement date for the auction is scheduled for February 18, 2026, which follows a T+5 timeline. Only Primary Dealers will participate in the auction, adhering to the operational regulations effective since January 1, 2026.
