Germany keeps second quarter debt issuance plan unchanged

The Federal Finance Agency in Berlin announced on Monday that the debt issuance plan for Germany for the second quarter of 2026 remains unchanged from the forecast issued in December. According to the existing plan, the federal government intends to issue a record-high volume of approximately 512 billion euros ($600 billion) in securities throughout the year. The agency specified that the government aims to raise 318 billion euros on the capital market and an additional 176 billion euros on the money market, with both segments being funded through auction processes. The agency, which is responsible for managing the nation's debt, noted that the next update or confirmation of the issuance plan for the third quarter is expected to be published in June.
