ATHENS, Feb. 5 (Xinhua) -- Greece raised 487.5 million euros (536.25 million U.S. dollars) in a treasury bills sale at negative yield on Wednesday, the country's Public Debt Management Agency (PDMA) said.
The 13-week treasury bills were sold at minus 0.1 percent yield compared to minus 0.08 percent in the previous similar sale in January this year, according to an e-mailed press statement.
