Sri Lanka issues tightly priced $1 billion bond

The country was able to price Asia’s first sovereign bond of the year within its existing curve, with a bulk of US investors buying into the nation’s strong credit story.

Sri Lanka on Monday sold Asia’s first sovereign note – a $1 billion five-year fixed-rate bond – of the year, achieving pricing inside its existing curve as investors rush to hold the emerging market’s rarely offered notes.
