The lower yield on Slovenian long-term debt comes amidst a general easing of tensions in the eurozone. Also down today were yields on Portuguese, Italian and Belgian ten-year bonds.

The Finance Ministry has said the pressure on Slovenian debt abated also as a result of the Constitutional Court banning referendums on the bad bank and sovereign holding laws.

In early September, the Slovenian ten-year bond yield peaked above the 7% mark with the spreads over German bunds as high as 564 basis points.
