The ministry said it has scheduled six bond tenders in February, with residual maturities ranging from 2.7 to 12.6 years, as well as one auction for 400 million lei worth of one-year treasury bills.

Romania sold about 1.58 billion lei and 83.5 million euros of domestic debt in January. It sold less debt than planned and even rejected all bids at several tender, as the market struggled to digest a newly introduced tax on banks' financial assets.
