March 1 (Reuters) - Portugal bought back 322 million
euros ($343.06 million) worth of bonds maturing in October 2023
and 792 million euros of February 2024 bonds on Wednesday in a
reverse auction aimed at easing its debt redemption schedule.
The IGCP debt agency said offers to sell the bond
outstripped the amount repurchased by two times on the 2023 bond
and by 1.3 times on the 2024 one.
The outstanding amount of the 2023 bond is now 9.70 billion
euros and 7.10 billion euros for the 2024 bond.
