The issuing of the government securities is carried out by the Ministry of Finance on behalf of the issuer, i.e. the Republic of Slovenia.
The total nominal amounts of government securities to be issued during one year are defined in the yearly financing program, which is prepared by the Ministry of Finance and approved by the government at the end of each year following the approval of the budget laws by the parliament.
Only primary dealers (the “PDs”) participate in auctions directly; bids may be submitted by PD’s in their own name either for their own account or for the account of third persons. Other legal entities and private individuals participate in the auctions in an indirect manner, by submitting their order(s) for subscription and payment of government securities for their own account to PDs.
International PD's are:
