Bloomberg 3/3/2021 Marton Eder
(Bloomberg) International bond issuance from the Balkans is dwarfing sales from bigger countries in Eastern Europe.
North Macedonia is the latest addition to a widening stream of sovereign issuance from the Balkan region, offering seven-year euro bonds on Wednesday, according to a person familiar with the deal who asked not to be named as they are not authorized to speak publicly. Earlier deals from Slovenia, Serbia and Croatia have pushed the region’s international debt sales this year to more than half of the full-year average since 2010.
