Belgium sells 1.3bn euros in short-term debt

BRUSSELS: Belgium sold 1.3 billion euros ($1.52 billion) of short-term debt at an auction on Tuesday, the country's debt agency said, with yields little changed from previous auctions.

Yields on treasury bills maturing in October sold for a negative yield of 0.577 percent, slightly below the negative 0.547 percent during a sale of a similar maturity in May.

Belgium has received, rather than paid, interest on its short-term borrowings for some four years.
