Germany says new 30-yr linker to be key part of debt strategy

[BERLIN] Germany's debt agency said a linker with a 30-year maturity that it will issue for the first time this year if market conditions permit would be a key part of its long-term debt management strategy and would also likely broaden its investor base.

It said in a presentation on Wednesday that the aim was "to create a full real rate curve with high liquidity" and the linker "will be an essential part of Germany's long-term debt management strategy".
