Italy is kicking off its 2026 funding program with a dual-tranche euro bond sale, capitalizing on strong investor demand for its debt as political uncertainty elsewhere in Europe reshapes flows. The country is looking to sell a new seven-year benchmark, alongside a €5 billion ($5.8 billion) increase of its green note maturing April 30, 2046, according to people familiar with the matter.

Global bond sales are having their busiest ever start to a year as borrowers of every stripe seize on investors’ insatiable appetite for risk. Corporations and governments in the US, Europe and Asia had already borrowed roughly $260 billion across currencies by the close of business on Wednesday and there’s more to come on Thursday. Italy has benefited from the trend of early-year borrowing. Last year, it attracted a record €142 billion of orders for a €13 billion 10-year bond, part of a dual-tranche €18 billion transaction. The country’s credit rating has been upgraded since then, adding to its appeal. With supply set to remain heavy in the coming weeks, Italy’s sale will be closely watched as a gauge of whether demand seen at the start of the year can be sustained. Ita...
