Sub-sections
  • DNB Boligkreditt issued a covered bond on Thursday that became its most oversubscribed covered bond ever, equalling the bank’s biggest ever order book. The deal, secured on green mortgages, was priced through its vanilla curve, clearly demonstrating the demand for covered bonds.
  • SK Hynix was overwhelmed with investor demand for its triple-tranche dollar deal on Wednesday. It raised $2.5bn, but non-stop demand drove the bonds nearly 20bp tighter in the secondary market on Thursday.
  • SRI
    Motability Operations, the UK non-profit company that leases cars and other vehicles to disabled people, won strong demand for its inaugural social bond on Wednesday, lending weight to the argument that the product will become a more prominent part of the capital markets this year.
  • World Bank extended its euro benchmark curve with flying colours on Wednesday, in a further sign of ample demand for duration amid a low yielding environment.
  • Volvo Cars, the Chinese-owned Swedish auto maker, has refinanced its main bank revolver with a €1.3bn sustainability-linked revolving credit facility, as the borrower looks to become climate neutral by 2040.
  • Spain is planning to issue its hotly anticipated inaugural green bond in the second half of the year through syndication in what will be the first step in the sovereign’s ambition to become a regular green issuer and build out a curve in the format.
