### Verification Against Payload

| Field | Payload Value | Document Value | Match |
|-------|---------------|----------------|-------|
| actual (6M yield) | 2.319% | 2.287% | ❌ Different |
| previous (6M yield) | 2.319% | (from prior auction) | No prior value in this document |
| currency | EUR | EUR | ✅ |
| unit | % | % | ✅ |

**Note:** The payload `actual` value of 2.319% does not match the weighted average yield (2.287%) in this document. The document is authoritative for the 22 April 2026 auction. The discrepancy may reflect:
- A different series or methodology
- An updated figure published later
- The value represents a different tenors across the three-maturity table; the 6M row is clearly identified above.
