MUFG set to bring debut TLAC bond to Asia

Mark Carrel

With Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group set to issue Asia's first bond to meet total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) requirements by the end of this month, market participants are trying to gauge its impact. It will set a benchmark in Asia but many banks from other parts of the region still have a long way to go before they will be ready to sell the new form of capital. Narae Kim reports.
