By Emese BarthaSlovakia's gross debt issuance should reach around 10 billion euros ($10.76 billion) in 2024, the debt agency Ardal said Monday. Issuance via syndicated bond sales is expected to amount EUR4.5 billion-EUR5.5 billion, regardless of the number of transactions, it said. The debt agency intends to open two or three new government bond lines next year. One would be a bond with a maturity between four and seven years and an issue size of EUR3 billion, while another new line would have an issue size of EUR5 billion with maturity of 10 years, it said. The debt agency doesn't expect to issue new treasury bill lines in 2024, it said.
