CITIC raises funds by selling Samurai bonds

By Bloomberg | China Daily | Updated: 2016-10-18 07:40

CITIC Group Corp has started marketing yen-denominated bonds to Japanese investors, the first sale of "Samurai bonds" by a Chinese mainland issuer for overseas borrowers in two decades.

CITIC, China's first State-owned investment corporation, is marketing five-year notes at a yield of 0.67 percent to 0.72 percent, and may offer debt as long as 20 years depending on demand, according to a person familiar with the matter. CITIC was one of the last Chinese sellers in the Samurai market in 1996, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Samurai sales have declined 20 percent from a year earlier to 1.08 trillion yen ($10.4 billion) since April 1 and issuance is running at a four-year low as euro and dollar markets have offered global issuers lower rates when swapping funds out of yen. HSBC Holdings Plc undertook the biggest Samurai bond sale in more than seven years last month when it sold notes that helped boost its regulatory buffers, and offered investors higher yields.
