A man walks past the Bank of Greece. Greece has raised 1.95 billion euros (2.6 billion dollars) in a well oversubscribed treasury bill issue but at more than double the cost of its last comparable issue, the Greek debt agency said.
ATHENS (AFP) - – Greece on Tuesday raised 1.95 billion euros (2.6 billion dollars) in a well oversubscribed treasury bill issue but at more than double the cost of its last comparable issue, the Greek debt agency said.
"The total bids reached 6.92 billion euros and the amount finally accepted was 1.95 billion," the Greek debt management agency said in a statement.
The agency had originally sought to raise 1.5 billion euros.
It added that buyers were offered a uniform yield of 3.65 percent compared to 1.67 percent in the last three-month bill issue in January.
The government is scheduled to begin talks on Wednesday with officials from the European Union, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund on a fall-back loan mechanism worth up to 45 billion euros.
Meanwhile, the yield on Greek 10-year government bonds rose to a record of 7.807 percent, indicating growing investor concern that Greece could default on its massive debts unless it receives help.
