BDO Unibank seeks $350m with six aboard

The Philippines’ largest bank — BDO Unibank — is in the market to raise $350m in a deal led by half a dozen mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners. The bank is the latest among a string of financial institutions out of the country to go offshore for dollars. Bankers expect more activity of this kind, as Philippine lenders look to fund their fast growing economy.
