Greece plots return to debt market with new bond issue

Greece plans to tap the international bond market for the first time since emerging last August from its third bailout programme, it was announced on Monday. The country revealed plans to issue a five-year syndicated bond following a sharp fall in yields on the country’s debt.

The bullish performance has come after the minority Syriza government ratified a deal to change Macedonia’s name, ending a 28-year dispute with its Balkan neighbour.
