KARACHI: Pakistan is issuing US dollar denominated Eurobonds for the first time since November 2017, when it raised $1 billion through a 5 year Sukuk and $1.5 billion through a 10 year conventional bond.
Going forward, Pakistan plans on raising $500 million through a green note to develop its hydroelectric power.
It is likely that Pakistan will float $2billion Eurobonds, or a triple tranche US dollar denominated bond sale in the next few days following a $6 billion bailout programme with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The Ministry of Finance had been arranging investor calls through banks, while April 6, 2021, is the expected settlement date. As per sources, Deutsche Bank AG, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Credit Suisse Group AG, Standard Chartered Plc, and Emirates NBD Bank PJSC have been hired for the purpose of raising capital by the government.
Bid information The content in this publication is expensive to produce. But unlike other journalistic outfits, business publications have to cover the very organizations that directly give them advertisements. Hence, this large source of revenue, which is the lifeblood of other media houses, is severely compromised on account of Profit’s no-compromise policy when it comes to our reporting. No wonder, Profit has lost multiple ad deals, worth tens of millions of rupees, due to stories that held big businesses to account. Hence, for our work to continue unfettered, it must be supported by discerning readers who know the value of quality business journalism, not just for the economy but for the society as a whole.To read the full article, subscribe and support independent business journalism in Pakistan
