The International Financing Review (IFR) 2005 Awards were made public on Monday, December 19, 2005. Agence France Tresor has been awarded with two awards:

- Best Euro Bond,
- Best Sovereign/Supranational/Agency Bond.

Both awards were related to the issuance of the 50-year OAT - the OAT 4% 25 April 2055. The launching of this new OAT has marked the creation of a new liquid segment on the euro yield curve and a new step in the development of the Euro fixed-income market. As outlined by IFR, "The scale and significance of the transaction was unrivalled in a year when duration dynamics featured heavily".
