Bank of India taps overseas bond markets

21 Mar 2013 Evaluate

Bank of India has issued the foreign currency bonds for $500 million on March 14, 2013. The issue was oversubscribed by 5.4 times and is significant for being the first Bond transaction by the bank offered to the institutions of USA under Rule 144A. It was also the first Indian PSU Bank offering under Rule 144A in 2013.

The Bond priced at 280 basis points (bps) over US Treasury, has lowest coupon for any Indian 144A offering. The subscription to the Bonds was worldwide, with 46% coming in from Asia, 17% from Europe and the balance 37% from USA. The strong order book and pricing is a testimony to the credibility and strength of the bank’s franchise amongst the global investor base.

Bank of India has 52 foreign offices in 20 countries and over 25% of its business is sourced from overseas. It was also the first Indian Bank to venture abroad having opened a branch in London in 1946.
