52 Week Bill Yield

Government 52 Week Bills are issued and backed by the German government denominated in euro currency. The yield on the Bills represents the return investors require for taking the risk to lend the government with their money. All other things equal, the lower the yield the lower the expectations of a default and vice versa. The prices of the Bills are inversely related to the bills’ yield. The 52 Week Bill Yield is published daily by the German Department of Treasury.
