Bosnia's Federation Lists €51.2 Million in Treasury Notes on Sarajevo Stock Exchange
Bosnia's Federation successfully listed €51.2 million worth of Treasury notes on the Sarajevo Stock Exchange. This issuance includes three-year T-notes valued at approximately 50 million marka (around $29 million), reflecting the Federation's ongoing efforts to enhance its financial market and attract investment.
The recent auction for these Treasury notes is part of a broader strategy to manage public debt and finance various development projects within the Federation. The government had previously announced an auction for 25.6 million euro worth of five-year Treasury bonds, which took place on April 15, 2025. Each note has a nominal value of 1,000 marka, with interest payments made semi-annually and the principal amount due in a lump sum upon maturity.
This latest issuance follows a successful auction in March, where the Federation sold 50 million marka worth of five-year Treasury notes. During that auction, the notes achieved a coupon rate of 3.20% and a weighted average yield of 3.2455%. Such favorable terms indicate a healthy demand for government securities, which is crucial for maintaining investor confidence in the Federation's economic stability.
The listing of these Treasury notes is not only a financial maneuver but also a signal of the Federation's commitment to fostering a robust financial market. By providing a platform for government securities, the Sarajevo Stock Exchange aims to enhance liquidity and attract both domestic and international investors. This move is expected to contribute to the overall economic growth of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as it allows the government to raise funds for infrastructure projects, social programs, and other essential services.
As the Federation continues to navigate its economic landscape, the issuance of Treasury notes will play a vital role in ensuring financial stability and promoting sustainable development in the region. The successful listing on the Sarajevo Stock Exchange is a positive step forward, demonstrating the Federation's proactive approach to managing its fiscal responsibilities and enhancing its investment appeal.
