Oman raises USD5bn from global bond sale

05 Mar 2017

(MENAFN) Oman almost finished its whole foreign borrowing plan for this year in a single issue, by selling USD5bn of global bonds.

Furthermore, the government’s bond sale was about double the size that most investors had projected and a huge amount for a country which returned to the global bond market.

In addition, order books for the issue reached USD20bn, while the Sultanate can now count on strong global demand for its high-yielding debt.

Accordingly, Oman planned to comprise a projected OMR3bn budget deficit this year with OMR2.1bn of global borrowing, OMR400mn of local borrowing.
