**Government Issues €50 Million in New Treasury Bills**
The Cyprus Stock Exchange (CSE) has announced the authorization of a new issuance of 13-week government treasury bills totaling €50 million. This decision follows a successful auction conducted on June 12, 2026. The new treasury bills, designated as the 6th issue of the 2026 series, consist of 50,000 individual bills, each with a nominal value of €1,000.
The CSE confirmed that these treasury bills will be officially issued on June 19, 2026, and they will not bear any interest. Investors looking to trade these securities will find them listed under the trading symbol TB13F26, with the unique International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) assigned as CY0241470810. Trading for this new series is expected to commence on the same day as the official issuance.
In conjunction with this new issuance, the CSE has taken administrative steps to suspend trading of the 3rd issue of the 2026 series 13-week treasury bills, coded TB13C26. This suspension will be in effect from June 16, 2026, until June 18, 2026, inclusive. The suspension is aimed at ensuring the proper settlement of all transactions related to the older series before they are formally delisted.
The delisting of the 3rd issue treasury bills from both the Cyprus Stock Exchange and the Central Securities Depository is scheduled to take place on June 19, 2026, coinciding with the issuance of the new treasury bills.
This issuance of treasury bills is part of the government's ongoing strategy to manage public debt and provide investment opportunities for both domestic and international investors. The treasury bills are expected to attract interest from various market participants, given their short-term nature and the security associated with government-backed instruments.
As the market prepares for the entry of these new treasury bills, investors are advised to stay informed about the trading schedule and the implications of the temporary suspension of the previous series. The CSE continues to facilitate a transparent and efficient trading environment for government securities, contributing to the overall stability of the financial market in Cyprus.
