Netherlands Issues EUR5 Billion in January 2054 Bond Tap — Update

By Emese Bartha

The Dutch State Treasury Agency issued 5 billion euros ($5.31 billion) in the tap of the 2.00% January 2054-dated government bond, or DSL, via a Dutch Direct Auction on Tuesday, it said.

In a DDA, the DSTA acts as the sole bookrunner.

The cut-off spread was set at 18 basis points above the yield of Germany's 2.50% August 2054 Bund, it said. The bond was priced at 83.92, at a yield of 2.804%, the DSTA said.

Total bids amounted to EUR14.720 billion, a lower volume than indicated in earlier stages of the bookbuilding.

The total share allocated to real money investors--those who buy bonds aiming to hold it for long term, often until maturity--, was 77.04%, while 22.96% was allocated to others, the DSTA said.
