In the first two series, the issuance yield was reduced by 28 basis points (bps) and in the third series by 45 bps, with respect to the yields of the sovereign curve. In addition, Real Adjustable Sovereign Adjustable Internal Debt Property securities with maturity in 2029 and yields of 6.92% were assigned."

Elian Villegas, Minister of Finance, explained that "... For three consecutive weeks we have made issuances that exceeded ¢100 billion in each one of them, with a wide participation of the stock market sector. We see how the behavior of the yields at which the securities were assigned in the last weeks continues to fall and, therefore, investors are willing to pay more for our issues. This behavior in the local market is consistent with that registered in the international markets and in the local secondary market. Once again, the investment community shows confidence in the medium-term strategy promoted by the fiscal authority."
