The European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) on Monday raised €3 billion in a new 7-year bond, its first issue of the year.
“Our 7-year transaction today was the first euro SSA benchmark bond issued in 2019. Despite the fact that it is very early in the year, we were able to raise the target amount of €3 billion quickly and smoothly. The issue was well-received by our investors, who appreciated the clear guidance on size and price,” said Siegfried Ruhl, EFSF Head of Funding and Investor Relations.
