Sweden raises USD 2 billion in a three-year bond at 1.742 %
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Kingdom of Sweden raised USD 2 billion (approximately SEK 18 billion) in a new
three-year benchmark at a yield of 1.742 per cent. The proceeds will be used to
refinance loans to the Riksbank.
The transaction was priced at mid-swaps minus 6 basis points, which is the
tightest spread of any benchmark USD transaction in 2017 year to date. A total
of 56 investors took part with the bid volume exceeding USD 3.4 billion.
- It was positive to see such strong demand considering our six months' absence
from the dollar market, says Maria Norström, Head of Funding at the Swedish
National Debt Office.

Ministry of Finance has published a proposal on the Riksbank's financial
independence. Should the proposal be approved by the Riksdag, the Debt Office's
foreign currency funding would be affected. The Debt Office will release a new
issuance plan in June 2017.
