LJUBLJANA: Euro zone member Slovenia could issue two sovereign bonds to finance the budget this year "if market conditions are favourable", Finance Minister Janez Sustersic said on Friday.

Slovenia in late March launched a roadshow for one bond issue, lead-managed by BNP Paribas, HSBC, J.P. Morgan, Societe Generale and Unicredit. It issued two bonds jointly worth 3 billion euros ($3.92 billion) last year.
