The funds were raised at a yield of 0.285%.
There was strong demand from a diversified investor base for today's transaction. The total order book of over €66 billion included circa 400 individual accounts.
Frank O’Connor, NTMA Director of Funding and Debt Management, said:
“The continued strong demand among investors for Irish sovereign debt created an opportunity for us this week to execute our third syndicated transaction of 2020.
Following today’s transaction we have now raised €18.5 billion from bond issuance this year, more than 80% of the mid-point of the €20-€24 billion funding range we have guided for the full year. This gives us significant flexibility and leaves us in a healthy position to meet our remaining requirements over the second half of 2020.
Our borrowing programme is benefiting from a range of supporting factors: improvements in our sovereign credit ratings, our smoother and longer debt maturity profile and the accommodative stance of the ECB”.
