New Issue of Treasury Bills with a Yield of 2.5 Percent

The Ministry of Finance will open subscriptions for a new issue of state treasury bills with a maturity of 91 days and a targeted nominal amount of €1.5 billion, with an annual yield rate of 2.5 percent and a maturity date of June 18 of this year, the Ministry of Finance reported on Friday. Subscriptions via digital channels will begin at midnight on Sunday.

The offering period will have two rounds of subscriptions, with the first round intended for citizens and the second directly aimed at institutional investors.

Interested citizens will be able to subscribe to treasury bills in the first round through the network of Fine branches and via the Ministry of Finance’s digital platform for securities, accessing the web application e-riznica or the mobile application m-riznica.

Possibility of Reinvestment

By selecting the “reinvestment” option through digital subscription channels or when subscribing at Fine branches, it is possible to settle the new issue with available funds maturing on March 19 of this year, based on the issuance from December 2025.

Thus, the reinvestment of the available amount will be carried out automatically, without the need for payment transactions, but the reinvestment option must be utilized during the subscription period of the new issue, that is, until March 16 at 11 a.m. This means that citizens who wish to reinvest money in treasury bills do not need to wait for payment to their transaction account in the bank and then make a new deposit, as selecting the “reinvestment” option will be done automatically on March 19, 2026.

Citizens Hold Over 8.5 Percent of Public Debt

In just over two years, this will be the 20th issue of state securities that citizens will be able to purchase, of which 17 are series of treasury bills. Citizens currently hold over 8.5 percent of public debt, having participated in previous issues with more than 417 thousand offers totaling €14.3 billion, says the Ministry of Finance, adding that previous issues of “people’s” securities have directed over €370 million in interest to citizens.
