Irish debt agency to hold September bond auction as Brexit lowers yields

Reuters - UK Focus

DUBLIN, July 1 (Reuters) - Ireland (Other OTC: IRLD - news) will hold one bond auction in the third quarter, on Sept. 8 subject to market conditions, its debt agency said on Friday, after the country's bond yields fell on Britain's vote to leave the European Union.

Ireland's 10-year government bond yield fell to record lows this week, dragged down by falls in top-rated euro zone bond yields in the wake of last week's Brexit vote and confidence that Ireland's economy can weather the fallout.

The country is already fully funded for the rest of the year and has raised 5.5 billion out of a guided range of 6 billion to 10 billion euros of debt to fund the state into 2017.

Ireland will also hold a treasury bill auction on Sept. 15, the National Treasury Management agency said. (Reporting by Conor Humphries; Editing by Dominic Evans)
