According to the statement, the 2041 bond offered a coupon rate of 3.3%; the 2051 bond a coupon a rate of 3.55%; and the Bono Global a rate of 2.74%. The MEF said that the funds raised will be used to finance the 2021 national budget. Highlighting that combined demand for the bonds exceeded US$10bn, with over 200 international investors taking part, the MEF described the operation as successful despite “the highly volatile [international] financial environment”, derived from the uncertainty produced by the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.
