The auction involved 9 dealers with orders with a total par value of EUR 134 623 300. No non-competing orders have been submitted. The achieved coverage ratio is 1.32. 
The Finance Ministry considers investors' proposals unprofitable and all orders have been rejected, the BNB reported. It was decided to offer additional quantities of the issue at an auction principle.
