The National Treasury Management Agency has today completed an auction of €1 billion of benchmark Irish Government bonds.
The bonds are due to mature in 2027 and 2045.
With the completion of today's auction, the NTMA has issued €7 billion of benchmark bonds this year, adding that it has now completed its bond issuance for 2023.
The NTMA had aimed to raise between €7 billion and €11 billion this year.
But the debt agency said in July it would stop at the lower end due to its large cash balances - which stood at over €25 billion at the end of June - and a large projected government budget surplus.
