◆ 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
Despite the boost in demand, overall unsecured supply still lags behind 2025, with the bulk of recent supply coming in covered bonds
