Czech retail investors ordered around 80 billion crowns ($3.76 billion) worth of bonds offered by the Finance Ministry to the public by the June 28 deadline, the ministry said on Wednesday.
Payment for the bonds is due on July 7 and the issue of the three bonds with maturity from three months to five years and varying fixed and floating coupons is due on July 15.
The ministry said final statistics based on paid orders would be released on the day of the issuance.
The ministry had initially planned on offering bonds worth around 20 billion crowns but, after demand quickly surpassed that amount, it said it would raise the amount.
On offer were two 5-year bonds, one with a fixed rate and the other linked to inflation, along with a short-term 3-month FlexiBond.
In March, the ministry said it expected total financing needs in 2026 of 737.8 billion crowns, equal to 8.2% of gross domestic product, which is up from 673.5 billion in 2025.
