  • A week before the European Central Bank is expected to announce a programme of quantitative easing and Greece elects its next president, investors are loading up on senior unsecured paper from top names in FIG, and being paid big new issue premiums.

UniCredit was able to draw solid demand for its deal, despite printing at an aggressive level compared to its fixed rate curve.
  • Philippine bank Rizal Commercial Banking Corp (RCBC) launched bookbuilding for a five year dollar bond on Monday, January 12, as part of its fund raising exercise under a $1bn MTN programme.
  • Export Import Bank of Korea (Kexim) was back in the international debt market on January 12, opening books to a SEC-registered dual tranche benchmark transaction that is split between a five year and a 10 year.
  • Bank of Communications (BOCOM) priced a three year dollar transaction on January 9, becoming the third financial dollar bond this year following China Huarong and Japan’s SMBC.
