The amount raised was down almost 30% from the RON 940 million collected in June, which had already been one of the programme&#8217;s weakest editions, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zf.ro\/burse-fonduri-mutuale\/fidelis-din-iulie-2026-cea-mai-slaba-editie-de-la-lansarea-din-2020-23192916?mc_cid=8f16ef450f&amp;mc_eid=cd1f92f96c\" target=\"_blank\">Ziarul Financiar<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>The latest issue consisted of four leu-denominated and three euro-denominated tranches. Of the total amount raised, RON 202.6 million came from leu-denominated bonds, while investors subscribed EUR 87.6 million (equivalent to around RON 455.6 million) in euro-denominated securities.<\/p>\n<p>The weaker subscription volumes came after the Ministry of Finance lowered yields on leu-denominated securities by 5 basis points compared with the June issue, anticipating a broader decline in domestic borrowing costs. Euro-denominated coupons were also reduced for the three-year and five-year maturities, although the 10-year euro bond coupon was increased to 6.2% from 5.8% in June.<\/p>\n<p>The latest results suggest retail investors have become more selective, favouring longer-dated euro-denominated securities amid continued political uncertainty and exchange rate risks. Nearly 70% of the funds raised in the July issue came through euro-denominated bonds despite their lower overall number of tranches.<\/p>\n<p><em>iulian@romania-insider.com<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>(Photo source: Facebook\/Bursa de Valori Bucuresti)<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Romania&#8217;s Ministry of Finance raised RON 658.2 million (EUR 132 million) from retail investors in the latest Fidelis government bond issue, marking the programme&#8217;s weakest offering since its launch in August 2020 and extending a recent decline in investor demand.
