The EUR4 billion sovereign bond issuance consisted of a EUR2 billion 7-year tranche, EUR1 billion 12-year tranche and EUR1 billion 20-year tranche. The bonds were dual-listed on the London Stock Exchange plc and Euronext Access, a market of Euronext in Paris.
This transaction is a key milestone for the People’s Republic of China and will create a new Euro pricing benchmark for Chinese companies raising funds through issuing Euro-denominated bonds.
