Chile Launches $2.25 Billion Sustainable Bond Issue

CHILE
  • Chile’s new notes/bonds issue is the first time the nation has tapped USD debt markets this year as it looks to swap out existing bonds for new sustainability-linked securities. The government is looking to keep building its reputation in the fast-growing ESG debt market.
  • The issue amounts to $1.15 billion of notes due in 2036 and $1.1 billion in bonds due in 2054, that are expected to yield 123 and 148 basis points over US Treasuries, respectively. Pricing details from Bloomberg are according to a person familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified because they’re not authorized to speak on the record.
  • The country is also offering to exchange existing, non-ESG foreign bonds due between 2025 and 2047 for the new notes, according to a statement from the government on Tuesday. Chile intends to keep the offer open for at least five business days.
  • Worth noting that finance minster Mario marcel is in New York for meetings. The full ‘Chile Day’ agenda can be seen here.
