Sri Lanka rupee bond yields drop on dollar debt sale

Sept 28, 2010 (LBO) - Sri Lanka government rupee securities yields slipped on news of a successful sale of a 10-year billion US dollar sovereign bond Tuesday, despite market participants discounting the effect earlier, dealers said.

A 10-year rupee bond maturing on 01.08.20 was last sold at an auction at 9.30 percent but the bond is not traded actively in the secondary market, dealers said.

Sri Lanka has just sold a billion US dollar 10-year bond at 6.25 percent to international investors, lower than the 6.5 percent price guidance given by issue managers before it opened.

A source close to the deal said 6.3 billion US dollars of bids had come for the bond in 12 hours from prospective buyers in Asia, Europe and the United States.

A large part of the bond will go to bridge an 8.0 percent of gross domestic product budget deficit in 2010 reducing pressure on domestic credit markets, though a portion will also be used to restructure short term debt, according to earlier official statements.
