The latest issuance of Italy’s BTP Italia Treasury bond has seen remarkable success, amassing a total of €5.28 billion within just two days, government officials announced on Wednesday. The bond, which is indexed to inflation and set to mature in June 2032, attracted significant interest from both retail and institutional investors.
On the second day alone, BTP Italia secured €2.14 billion through 63,946 subscription contracts, adding to the €3.14 billion collected on the first day. This robust demand underscores the strong confidence investors have in the government’s debt instruments amid an uncertain economic landscape.
The subscription period remains open for retail savers until Thursday, while institutional investors have until the 30th to participate, offering ample opportunity for further investment in this inflation-protected bond.
