Government completes financing for 2013

Palma/Madrid.—Central government has  announced that  it has completed its programme aimed at raising 121 billion euros  from the debt markets to finance the state in 2013.
The Economy Ministry said it had raised 121 billion euros in medium- and long-term bonds since the start of the year, meeting the full-year target.
The news brought down the curtain on a year that began at a time of great tension amid fears of an all-out sovereign bailout for Spain, the eurozone’s fourth largest economy.
