The Greek authorities on Wednesday said they have received offers worth 31.9 billion euros in a book-building process of a debt buy back programme which ended on Tuesday.
Greece's Public Debt Management Organization, in a statement, said that the offered bonds were secured with six-month securities, worth 11.29 billion euros, of the European Financial Stability Fund (EFSF), while the average repurchase price was set at 33.8 cents per euro nominal value of the Greek bonds.

The statement stressed that the Greek state plans to accept the offers in total if the EFSF agreed to raise its funding of the programme by 1.29 billion euros. Settlement date is set for Tuesday, 18 December.

Germany favours release of aid tranche to Greece‏
