The Republic of Slovenia issued €30 million ($32.5 million) in sovereign digital bonds with a coupon of 3.65%. This is the first case in the EU.

The bonds were issued as part of the European Central Bank's settlement experiment program using the Bank of France's tokenized cash system.

The bonds have a maturity date of November 25. The settlements were carried out in wholesale central bank digital currency (CBDC).

These experiments are aimed at increasing the transparency and efficiency of financial markets.
