With KfW having shown just what is possible — twice in as many weeks — bankers were calling for the EIB to follow the German development bank and launch a dollar deal. It is sound advice that the supranational borrower has followed: if the year has taught public sector issuers one thing, it is to take issuance opportunities when they present themselves.
