LONDON: The United Kingdom sold a record £13bil (US$16.2bil) of 10-year bonds after attracting the highest-ever demand for such securities from investors keen to lock in yields near multi-decade highs.
The government received £142bil of orders for the new debt, sold via banks in a syndication, according to the country’s Debt Management Office (DMO).
