“Greece proceeded today to issue a 10-year bond, opening the curtain on the loan program for 2023,” Finance Minister Christos Staikouras said in a statement.

“As he points out, “the version was successful. In terms of demand, capital quality and borrowing costs, taking into account the volatility in the international environment.

The Government, and the Public Debt Management Organization, act with determination and foresight, taking into account the existing and future decisions of the European Central Bank in the exercise of monetary policy. We are building strong cash reserves, following a prudent fiscal policy and implementing reforms, so that we bravely support households and businesses for as long as necessary and strengthen, even more, the sustainable development of the Greek economy” concludes Mr. Staikouras.
