Kingdom of Sweden issues dollar at record low yield

(Thomson Reuters ONE) -


The Kingdom of Sweden issues 2.25 billion dollar (about SEK 15.5 billion) in a
new three-year benchmark bond to the Riksbank. The yield is the lowest
syndicated three year dollar deal this year.

* The deal was oversubscribed already an hour after the opening of the
bidding. We have once again benefited from investors looking for high
quality securities, says Head of Funding Maria Norström.

Bid volume was just over 3 billion dollar. Central banks bought 46 per cent of
the issue. Banks and pension- and insurance companies bought 21 and 12 per cent
respectively. The balance was bought by asset managers, corporates and private
banks. About 31 per cent of the bond was sold to Africa and the Middle East, 24
per cent to Europe and 18 per cent to the Americas. The remainder went to Asia
and other European countries.

Market participants agree that the appetite for Swedish government securities
continues to be very strong:

* Investors are looking for Swedish government bonds. Sweden is a rare
borrower with the highest creditworthiness, immune to the volatility in the
Eurozone. Sweden can take advantage of being one of few issuers that can
offer dollar bonds with short maturity at a time when the demand for safe
haven credits is large.
