  • n JP Morgan this week launched its innovative 'CBO of CBOs', Zais Investment Grade Ltd (Zing), to a warm reception from European investors. The $345m deal is a standard managed cashflow collateralised bond obligation, but instead of high yield and emerging market bonds and loans, it is backed by mezzanine tranches from 20 other CBOs.
  • Euroweek visited Nomura's European headquarters at St Martin's-le-Grand to see what a typical day in the MTN business involved.
  • There was a time when the only way for an investment bank to gain prominence in the MTN market was to be the firm arranging the most programmes.
  • Europe's MTN market has always struggled to match the depth and breadth of its US counterpart, not least because of the lack of diversity among issuers in the market.
  • Last year's credit and liquidity crisis in the world's financial markets has knocked the development of the Eurorand market backwards. With credit concerns still a key factor among investors and with rand paper still yielding far more than other emerging market currencies, issuance has been dominated by vanilla bonds from top-rated names. Diversification of structures, issuers and the investor base has been put on the backburner.

But all are agreed that the trend is based on purely commercial and strategic grounds. It has nothing to do with politics, or concern over the country's prospects.
  • As the process of establishing a Euro-MTN programme becomes more standardised - particularly in terms of the documentation used - what do issuers need to look out for?
  • One of the attractions of the MTN markets for issuers is that they can be tailored to suit indivivual needs. Euroweek spoke to funding officials at five leading MTN issuers - KfW, the World Bank, LBW, DNIB and OKB - about how they access the MTN market.
  • Since it swept to power in 1994, South Africa's ANC government has been far more business-friendly than anyone could have imagined. In economic and monetary policy, the emphasis has been on stability, fiscal strictness and no sudden changes - despite the increasingly pressing need, at a political level, to improve the country's socio-economic conditions for the majority of its people.
