Facing weak investor demand, the Finance Ministry sold on Tuesday only one third the volume of hryvnia bonds as at last week’s auction, and at slightly higher yields. In yesterday’s auction, the government sold the hryvnia equivalent of $35 million, one third for 1-year bonds and two thirds for 3-year bonds, the Ministry reported on Facebook. The weighted average yield for 1-year bonds was 9.28%, virtually unchanged. For 3-year securities, the yield was 10.46% – 46 basis points above the last auction of 3-years, one month ago.
