DUBAI--Saudi Arabia plans to sell its first international bond
after releasing pricing guidance Tuesday on a multi-tranche, U.S.
dollar offering, according to a banker aware of the
transaction.
The country set its initial pricing guidance for the five-year
tranche around 160 basis points above U.S. Treasurys. The 10-year
tranche is tentatively priced around 185 basis points above U.S.
Treasurys and the 30-year tranche at 235 basis points above U.S.
Treasurys.
Bankers expect Saudi Arabia to raise at least $10 billion via
the bond sale, which will help boost its finances as the kingdom
copes with falling income from oil sales.
Saudi Arabia is concluding its roadshows in the U.S. Tuesday.
J.P.Morgan, HSBC and Citigroup are the joint coordinators.
