[01] Greece raises 1.5 bln euros from 3-month bills auction
(ANA-MPA) -- The Greek government successfully auctioned off a
three-month state bills issue on Tuesday, raising 1.5 billion euros
from the market.
Bids submitted totaled 3.8 billion euros, while the interest rates on
the three-month bills jumped to 1.67 pct, from 0.35 pct, compared with
the previous auction of the same bills on Oct. 23, 2009.
[02] Industrial index dips in Nov
Greece's turnover index in the industrial sector fell 9.5 pct in
November 2009, compared with the same month in 2008, after recording a
decline of 16.8 pct in November 2008, the National Statistical Service
announced on Tuesday.
The statistical service, in a report, attributed the 9.5-pct decline in
the composite index to a 9.4-pct fall in the manufacturing turnover
index and a 12.9-pct decline in the mining turnover index. The domestic
market turnover index fell 10.3 pct in November, while the external
market turnover index fell 7.2 pct.
The new orders index in the industrial sector fell 11.6 pct in
November, from November 2008, reflecting a 13.5-pct drop in the
domestic market index and 9.7-pct fall in the external market index.
