◆ Weaker backdrop for FIG issuance ◆ Deal printed with a negligible spread above previous, shorter bond ◆ Nearly triple digit spread lures investors
◆ Rising investor sensitivity due to tight unsecured FIG spreads ◆ Deal centred around real money orders after hitting €4.5bn peak book ◆ Hardly any concession left on shorter tranche, minimal on longer one
