NIB's first 10-year USD 1bn bond launched

This is the sixth of NIB’s USD global benchmarks issued annually since 2002. The previous deals of the same size had a three- and a five-year maturities. NIB’s annual USD global issuance represents a rare public markets occasion for global investors to invest in one of the world’s select AAA supranational institutions and the only one representing the Nordic and Baltic region. The 2007 NIB funding requirement amounts to EUR 4 billion, equivalent to USD 5.2 billion.
