                   Greece: successful 13w T-Bills auction

Greece sold EUR 1.95 billion 13-week Treasury bills today yielding 3.65 percent, more than
twice the level of the previous sale in January (1.67%). The country still needs to EUR 10 +
billion by end of May to finance maturing bonds and the deficit. This seems to confirm my
reasoning: investors are ready to finance Greece short term for a good yield. I doubt they
will finance Greece long term, hence the importance of the May deadline.




The yield on Greece’s 10-year bond reached 7.82 percent today, the highest since before
the start of the euro, and more than twice comparable German debt.
