On the issue date at 10 a.m. (CET), the DSTA will announce the price at which Primary Dealers can buy the issue. The issuance will take the form of a tap auction, during which the DSTA may revise the price at any time. The price will be announced on the screens of MTS Netherlands and Bloomberg DSTA. Professional and private investors may participate in the auction through the Primary Dealers. The list of Primary Dealers and the borrowing requirements are available on the website. Primary Dealers have the right (under the usual conditions) to use the “non-comp” facility after the auction has been closed. Liquidity of the bond will be guaranteed through a repo facility available to the Primary Dealers.
Updated borrowing requirement for 2018
On 15 December 2017 the DSTA presented its Outlook 2018, including the funding plan for 2018. At that time the preliminary borrowing requirement for 2018 was estimated at € 53.5 billion. Based on the figures at year-end 2017, the borrowing requirement for 2018 is now estimated at € 50.5 billion. This lower than expected funding need is due to improvements in the cash position at the end of 2017, as a result of which the money market volume at the end of 2017 is lower than anticipated before.
As announced in the Outlook 2018, € 23 to € 29 billion of the total borrowing requirement for 2018 will be covered by DSL issuances on the capital market. The remaining borrowing requirement will be funded on the money market.
