South American development bank CAF (Corporación Andina de Fomento) has released initial price thoughts for its second visit to the euro bond market this year.

The supranational went out with high 30s over mid-swaps on Wednesday morning. Aa3/AA-/AA- rated CAF mandated Barclays, BBVA, Crédit Agricole and JP Morgan as joint lead managers on Tuesday for the Reg S only euro benchmark. 

CAF last sold a benchmark in early February, raising €1bn of seven year notes at 40bp over mid-swaps despite US equities suffering their worst day in seven years — triggering a period of hefty volatility from which EM bonds have not fully recovered.

The bank sold its first ever green bond in May, raising Ps150bn ($52.5m) of peso-denominated notes in the Colombian market.
