  • BANKERS predicting the failure of Sberbank's maiden foray in the syndicated loan market were rudely proved wrong this week. The $200m facility for Russia's largest bank, originally mandated to West Merchant Bank in August -- since when NatWest Markets has entered as a joint arranger -- has reportedly attracted commitments from some 40 banks, the largest number ever to have participated in such a facility. Among those, several were taking Russian exposure for the first time.

The success of deals from the World Bank and Sweden in fixed rate dollars has improved sentiment considerably. "The market is convalescing nicely," said one banker, "and deals like World Bank and Sweden have helped that recovery a lot."
  • THE FRENCH government is planning to organise a beauty parade to select lead managers for the upcoming divestiture of its remaining 36% stake in car manufacturer Renault.
