Qatar is set to return to the credit markets with another bumper sovereign bond as the gas exporter seeks to raise more funds amid optimism about its fast-growing economy.
Bankers say the bond issue could target as much as $5bn, depending on demand, with initial soundings of interest proving “very positive” before a roadshow over the next week or so.
The finance ministry has appointed five banks – Qatar National Bank, Barclays, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan – to run the issue, another indication of the region’s increasing appetite for capital markets fundraising.
