Agency holds first investor roadshow since EU bailout

THE National Treasury Management Agency has embarked on its first investor roadshow since the €67.5 billion bailout involving the EU and the IMF was agreed in November.

Ireland would return to the markets as soon as investors felt more comfortable about its fiscal goals as well as prospects for other peripheral eurozone countries, NTMA chief executive John Corrigan had said previously.

According to an NTMA spokesman, the agency will, over the next four to six weeks, travel abroad to meet investors in Asia, Europe and the US to discuss the Irish situation in the post-bailout environment.
