Kingdom of Sweden issues a 3-year dollar benchmark
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Kingdom of Sweden issues USD 2.5 billion (approximately SEK 20 billion) in a new
three-year bond at a yield of 0.962 per cent. The proceeds will be used to
refinance maturing on-lending to the Riksbank.
The transaction was priced at mid-swaps minus 6 basis points and is the first
European sovereign issue in dollar this year. Over 40 investors took part in the
deal.
- Despite a significant volatility in the fixed income and FX markets as well
weakness in equities, we could price flat to our secondary curve, says Maria
Norström, Head of Funding.
