PRAGUE, Oct 1 (Reuters) - The Czech Republic issued 750 million euros in an unexpected tap sale of its 3.875 percent Eurobond due in 2022 on Monday, with demand topping 1.6 billion euros, a source close to the deal said.
Final pricing was for 116 basis points over mid-swaps, down from 160 basis points when the central European country first sold 2 billion euros worth of the paper in February.
