The Book reflects a strong and diversified demand from final investors with a large 100-order book. A large proportion of the Book is allocated to asset managers (22%), to insurance companies (21% ) and to pension funds (10%). The presence of central banks and supranationals (5%) is also noticeable.
The geographical distribution reflects the strong demand for Euro area inflation-linked-bonds from both French and non-resident investors. The allocation illustrates the interest of French investors 49%, British 18%, Germans 9% and Dutch ones 8%.
This new index linked bond will be regularly auctioned, according to investors demand and in order to guarantee its liquidity.
