ATHENS: Greece sold 1.138 billion euros ($1.27 billion) of three-month treasury 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 262.5 million euros in non-competitive bids.

In a 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 June. Settlement date is August 12.
