IFC - International Finance Corporation reposted this
We just issued our second benchmark bond of our new July to June fiscal year, a 500 million 5-year British pound sterling bond due October 2029. The trade was robust and attracted orders in excess of £540 million from a diverse global investor base. It also achieved the tightest spread to Gilts that we’ve achieved so far for a 5-year British pound sterling benchmark. Proceeds from our bonds provide essential financing for private businesses in emerging markets, helping to create jobs, alleviate poverty, and drive inclusive and sustainable economic growth. Joint lead managers for this transaction were Barclays Investment Bank, RBC Capital Markets and Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Thank you to all our investors!
