The Public Treasury has made a syndicated issuance of a new 10-year reference, maturing on October 31, 2023 and a coupon of 4.40%. The profitability of the issuance has stood at 4,452%, equivalent to 278 basis points above the mid-swap rate (interbank market for interest rate swaps) and almost 100 basis points below the profitability of past syndication January 22 (obligation with coupon 5.40% and expiration in January 2023).
The operation closed today has been a success, both in terms of volume of demand and profitability. The final demand, coming from more than 250 investment accounts, has exceeded 21,500 million euros. The volume issued has been 7,000 million euros, at the maximum level among all the ten-year references syndicated by the Public Treasury.
The Public Treasury decided to combine the auction held today of Treasury Bills at 6 and 12 months with the syndication of this new reference. This gave a mandate to the placement bank union that was announced on Monday, May 13, to warn investors about the imminence of such an operation.
The high demand has allowed the Treasury to allocate the issue among quality investors; that is to say, of a typology very diversified so much by modality of investor as by geographic zones. The participation of non-resident investors has reached 48% of the syndication. Of this percentage, investors from outside the euro zone have had the largest foreign participation. The United Kingdom stands out with 17%, Asia and the Middle East with 9%, the Scandinavian countries with 4% and the United States with 2%. The rest, 16%, corresponds to European investors.
Based on the type of investor, the largest share has corresponded to fund managers with 42% of the total, followed by bank treasuries with 34% and insurers and pension funds that have participated with 14%. Finally, central banks have participated with 8% of the total.
With this issue of 7,000 million euros, pending the second round of the auction of Letters today, the Treasury has issued a total of 108,500 million euros, of which 65,000 are part of the medium and long financing program term. This figure represents 53.6% of the emission forecast for the whole year, including the Public Treasury Financing Program (121.3 billion euros).
The Public Treasury has once again demonstrated full market access in the longest stretches of its curve at sustainable rates, as well as the confidence of capital markets in large Spanish, public and private issuers.
Banco Santander, Barclays Bank, Caixabank, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, and Goldman Sachs have acted as directors of this issue. The rest of the group of Creators of Bond Market and Obligations of the State have acted as co-leaders.
