BGK had released initial price guidance earlier in the day at mid to high 70bp over swaps and later refined that talk to 70bp-75bp over. It tightened again to 70bp area over swaps before launching at 68bp over.
The deal was sold at 99.821 with a 1.625% coupon. BGK, Citi, Deutsche Bank and JP Morgan arranged the bond.
The Reg S bond, which carries an expected rating of A- by Fitch, is explicitly guaranteed by the State Treasury of the Republic of Poland, rated A2/BBB+/A-.
Bankers away from the deal said the pricing looked good. One said that he saw fair value for the new issue at 65bp over swaps given that BGK’s 2026s were bid around 60bp over swaps on Tuesday. Poland’s May 2027s were bid around 22bp over swaps and its 2026s at 17bp over.
Proceeds of the deal will be used for the National Road Fund Law.
