Argentina enters Euro Bond market

8 years ago - Published in Finance, Fundamental Analysis

Argentina opened books on a dual-tranche euro-denominated bond, maturing in January 2022 and January 2027. The 10-year issue is being marketed around 5.625% and the 5-year at a yield of 4.5% area.
The issue is managed by BBVA, BNP Paribas and Credit Suisse. Sovereign debt is rated B3 (stable) by Moody's and B- (stable) by Standard and Poor's.

Argentina joined Chile, Colombia and Peru which had all recently tapped the euro sovereign bond market. 

Argentina sold a $16.5bn in dollar bond in April, the largest ever issue from a developing nation and a stunning return to the international debt market for the Latin American country after a 15-year exile.
