Belgium plans to issue a new five-year, August 2031-dated government bond, or OLO, via a bank syndicate in the near future, subject to market conditions, the Minister of Finance Jan Jambon said.

The banks hired for the planned transaction are BNP Paribas Fortis, Citi, NatWest, Nomura and Societe Generale as joint bookrunners, lead manager banks said Monday.

A government bond auction scheduled for May 25 will be maintained, but will be limited in size.
