ATHENS: Greece sold 1.3 billion euros ($1.43 billion) of three-month T-bills to refinance a maturing issue, the country's debt agency PDMA said on Wednesday.

The debt agency sold the new paper at a yield of 2.70 percent, unchanged from a previous sale last month.

The amount raised included 300 million euros in non-competitive bids.

In the rollover, T-bill holders renew their positions instead of getting paid on the maturing paper they hold.

The sale's bid-to-cover ratio was 1.30, unchanged from a previous auction in February. Settlement will be on March 11.
