Greece says raised 1.5 bln euros from bond issue
ATHENS, July 10 (Reuters) - Greece raised 1.5 billion euros from the issue of a three-year bond on Thursday with a yield of 3.5 percent, the finance ministry said in a statement.
Athens said it received orders worth 3 billion euros. It had been expected to raise between 2.5 billion to 3 billion euros but faced lacklustre demand following concerns about the health of a parent company of Portugal's largest bank.
"The government expresses its satisfaction that once again international investors showed their confidence in the Greek economy," the finance ministry said in a statement. "This way, the effort to create a full yield curve continues." (Reporting by Lefteris Papadimas, Writing by Deepa Babington)
