Pressure eases on Greece after success of €5bn bond issue
Greece won a vote of confidence from financial markets when investors snapped up a government bond issue yesterday,easing fears that its debt crisis could prevent it from raising money. Athens sold €5bn ($6.8bn) in 10-year bonds and received orders for three times that amount.
希臘昨日贏得了金融市場的一張信任票,投資者將希臘新發(fā)行的國債搶購一空,緩解了人們對該國債務危機有可能阻礙政府融資的擔憂。希臘政府出售了50億歐元(合68億美元)的10年期債券,收到了三倍于此數(shù)目的認購。
The bond issue was evidence of optimism in the markets that the Greek government will avoid defaulting on its debt repayments. A few weeks ago it would have struggled to raise money in the capital markets.
此次債券發(fā)行證明了市場的樂觀態(tài)度,相信希臘政府將避免在債務償還上違約。就在數(shù)周前,希臘還難以從資本市場融資。
However, the interest rate the country has been forced to pay to attract investors is one of the highest Greece has had to pay for a 10-year bond since it joined the euro in 2001. Currency strategists said such punitive rates were not sustainable.
不過,為了吸引投資者,希臘被迫為10年期國債支付的利息,也是自2001年該國加入歐元區(qū)以來最高的之一。外匯策略師表示,這種懲罰性利率是不可持續(xù)的。
The coupon interest rate on the bond was 6.25 per cent,about 2 percentage points more than Portugal - seen as the next weakest eurozone country - is paying and double the rate paid by Germany, Europe's biggest economy.
債券的票面利率為6.25%,高出葡萄牙(被視為歐元區(qū)第二疲弱的成員國)目前國債利率2個百分點左右,相當于歐洲最大經(jīng)濟體德國國債利率的2倍。
“We have re-opened Greek government issuance after a very critical period,” said Petros Christodoulou, head of the country's debt management agency. “We're aiming for orderly market conditions from now on.”
希臘債務管理局局長佩特羅斯·克里斯托多羅(Petros Christodoulou)表示:“在經(jīng)歷過一段非常關鍵的時期后,我們已重啟希臘政府債券發(fā)行。我們力爭從現(xiàn)在起建立有序的市場狀況。”
Investors are likely to remain wary because Greece will have to raise more money in the capital markets. Athens needs €10bn to refinance debt and meet interest payments in April.
投資者可能會保持警惕,因為希臘還必須在資本市場進一步融資。希臘在4月份需要100億歐元為債務進行再融資,并支付利息。
