Indosat prints $650 million high-yield bond

The Indonesian telecom services provider comes to market for the first time since 2005, pricing a 10-year issue that is 16 times subscribed.

Asia's high-yield bond market had a good start to the year with investors clearly expressing their appetite for this kind of paper. And with Indosat's successful pricing early Friday morning of $650 million worth of fixed-rate guaranteed senior notes on the back of massive demand, this appetite is showing no signs of tapering off.

As one source wrote: "We are starting to see risk appetite coming back from the Asian accounts for high-quality names with decent yields after the recent market volatility."
