Belgium launched a new five-year government bond via a syndicated transaction Tuesday, issuing 8 billion euros ($9.43 billion), one of the lead manager banks said.
Books for the new August 2031-dated bond, or OLO, closed in excess of 44 billion euros, including 3.55 billion euros in joint lead-manager interest, the same bank said.
The spread on the bond was set at mid-swaps +19 basis points.
BNP Paribas Fortis, Citi, NatWest, Nomura and Societe Generale were the lead managers of the transaction.
