威廉·霍罗宾（William Horobin）报道：法国财政部表示，该国不会改变债券发行策略，并将继续利用拍卖中具有的灵活性。
France’s finance ministry said it is not changing its strategy for bond issuance and will continue to use the flexibility it has at auctions.
此前，《华尔街日报》报道称，在长期债券近期遭到抛售之后，该国正考虑发行更多短期债务。文章援引了对财政部长罗兰·莱斯库尔（Roland Lescure）的采访。
The comments came after the Wall Street Journal reported the country is considering issuing more shorter-term debt after recent selloffs of long-dated bonds. The article cited an interview with Finance Minister Roland Lescure.
法国财政部在发给彭博社的评论中表示：“法国的债务发行策略顺应了投资者的需求。这使我们在决定拍卖哪些具体债券时具有灵活性，从而尽可能贴近市场需求。”
“France’s debt issuance strategy follows investors’ demand,” the finance ministry said in comments sent to Bloomberg. “It allows us to have flexibility when deciding which specific bonds we intend to issue for the auctions, so as to be as close possible to demand.”
该部补充说：“我们在较长期证券（30年及以上）上发行较少的事实反映了这一策略。在收益率上升的背景下，一级交易商转达了过去几个月对这些债券需求减弱的信息。”在莱斯库尔的言论见报后，法国10年期债务相对于更安全的德国同类债券的溢价有所下降，但随后迅速回升，收盘上涨12个基点，达到140个基点。在彭博社报道财政部称债券发行策略没有改变后，法国国债期货维持了跌势。
“The fact that we have issued less on longer dated securities (30+ years) reflects that strategy,” the ministry added. “In a context of higher yields, primary dealers have relayed lower demand for those bonds over the past few months.”The premium on French 10-year debt over safer German peers dipped following Lescure’s reported remarks, but quickly recovered to close 12 basis points higher at 140 basis points. French bond futures held their declines after Bloomberg reported the ministry saying there was no change in the bond issuance strategy.
