Ireland sells 2 billion euros of green debt maturing in 2043

(Adds context, table ​and ⁠annual funding target) DUBLIN, ​May 13 (Reuters) - Ireland sold 2 ​billion ‌euros ($2.35 billion) of its 17-year ⁠green bond at ⁠a yield of ​3.642% in a syndicated transaction, the National Treasury Management Agency said ​on ‌Wednesday. The bonds mature in October 2043 and fund projects with environmental benefits. The debt ​agency cancelled a debt auction ‌scheduled for May 14, which would likely have ‌raised fewer funds and opted for a syndicated tap transaction instead. Ireland ​has now raised 8.25 billion euros ‌of its planned 10 billion to 14 billion euro funding ⁠range ⁠for the year.
