[Germany to Reissue €1 Billion in Green Bonds Due in 2033 on March 4] ⑴ The German Federal Bank announced on Thursday that the German Finance Ministry has selected green federal bonds maturing in February 2033 for a renewal auction on March 4. ⑵ The issuance plan provides €1 billion in issuance. The bonds have a coupon rate of 2.30%, and the settlement date is set for March 6. The announcement indicates that a portion of the planned issuance will be initially retained by the German Finance Ministry for market maintenance purposes. ⑶ Under Germany's debt management mechanism, the German Finance Ministry is responsible for the overall management of federal debt, while the German Federal Bank is specifically responsible for executing the bond auctions. This renewal is an increase in existing green bonds, aiming to maintain market liquidity and stock size for this maturity. ⑷ For market participants, the final subscription multiple and average yield of this auction will be important references for measuring institutional demand for Eurozone green sovereign bonds. Especially against the backdrop of current adjustments in European Central Bank policy expectations, the pricing of long-term green bonds is even more valuable to observe.
