Germany's leading MTN dealers and borrowers have gone party mad. MTNer Volker Bottcher and his friends at Hypo-Vereinsbank entertained 60 of the debt capital markets' leading names at Munich's Oktoberfest. JP Morgan's head of desk, Alex Haidas, was there keeping the bank's drinking traditions alive. Leak just hopes he remembered to remove his Lederhosen before catching his flight home - standards are very high on premium economy class. And Lake Constance certainly knows how to liven up the ABCP market. The borrower invited its dealers to Stuttgart for a wine tasting and was then brave enough to let them get behind the wheels of a Porsche the next morning. Apparently it was difficult finding reverse with a sore head, but Leak can only pray that Deutsche's CP originator, Susanne Louis, did not take any driving tips from her MTN colleague, Chris Jones. He drove the wrong way up a cycle lane at the SNS driving weekend and nearly killed someone.

Volume in euros fell by just under $1bn as only 66 trades were closed. French and German borrowers were the most visible, making up 42% of issuance in the euro market. The biggest French euro trade was Compagnie Financiere du Credit Mutuel's Eu150m deal that was led by SG. The two year trade pays a coupon of 5bp over three month Euribor. BNP Paribas was another active bookrunner in France. The dealer placed a Eu100m three year note for Banque Federative du Credit-Mutuel and a Eu6m five year trade for Caisse Centrale du Credit Immobilier de France.
