Germany to cut debt issuance to 250bn euros in 2013

20 Dec, 2012

 

The debt agency said it planned to issue 173 billion euros in longer-term capital market instruments and 77 billion euros in money market instruments next year, as well as the so-called "Deutschland bond".

 

"The Federal Government intends to issue a nominal Bond in cooperation with the German federal states in 2013," the agency said in a statement.

 

It added however, that the liability of each participant in the bond would be limited to its share of the nominal value, meaning the federal govenrment would not be providing guarantees to the states.

 

The agency also expects to issue between 8 and 12 billion euros in inflation-linked securities, and reserved the right to take out special securitized loans.
