Yields on Greek bonds continued to de-escalate over recent days, with most investors’ interest pointing to a five-year bond, all amid speculation that the country’s Public Debt Management Agency will proceed with a first post-bailout five-year bond issue in the immediate future, possibly after a ratification vote in Parliament over the Prespa agreement.

The yield on Tuesday eased under 3 percent, stopping at 2.95 percent.

According to market sources, the possible yield on a five-year bond will hover between the yield of an issue maturing in 2023 and a seven-year issue maturing in 2025.
