ATHENS, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) -- Greece raised on Wednesday 812.5 million euros (942 million U.S. dollars) in a 13-week treasury bills auction, the Public Debt Management Agency (PDMA) said.

Shut out of international markets since 2010, debt-laden Greece runs a monthly treasury bill auction program to cover maturing debts and meet its financing needs, in parallel to the bailout program.
