Austria sold 5 billion euros ($5.91 billion) in the syndicated
launch of a new 15-year government bond on Thursday, with the
transaction luring strong demand, said one of the lead manager
banks.
The EUR5 billion issue size of the bond, which will mature in
October 2036, includes a EUR500 million issuer retention, said the
same bank. Demand for the deal exceeded EUR41 billion, including
EUR2 billion joint lead manager demand.
The final spread on the bond was set three basis points below
mid-swaps, said the same bank.
Bookrunners of the issue were Barclays, BofA Securities, Goldman
Sachs Bank Europe SE, J.P. Morgan and UniCredit.
