The transaction marks the first bond issued in a public format by an international issuer and will settle locally in the Central Moneymarkets Unit (CMU). The 3-year Sustainable Development Bond pays an annual coupon of 3.847% and raised HKD4 billion. It was well received by investors both domestically and across APAC with a final order book of over HKD9 billion and more than 25 orders. This first-of-its-kind issuance recognizes the opening of the public HKD market to international issuers and will help enable investors to diversify their assets while supporting AIIB in expanding its public market presence.
