  • Beijing Enterprises Clean Energy Group is back in the offshore loan market, seeking a $150m borrowing seven months after its last deal.
  • Spain’s Red Eléctrica Corporación has hired banks to run a series of fixed income investor calls for a debut five year senior unsecured deal, in the first European corporate roadshow since stringent social distancing measures were implemented across the continent.
