World Bank's Bondi makes ripples

摘要

The world bank is seeking to broaden the investor base for its inaugural Kangaroo blockchain bonds issued in August 2018. The World Bank, rated Aaa/ AAA (Moody's/S&P), has mandated CBA, RBC Capital Markets and TD Securities to tap the A$110m (US$75m) of 2.2% August 28 2020 "Bondi bonds" following update calls on August 5 and 6. The reopening will be offered to investors in Australia and Singapore, in contrast to the original placement, which was offered only in Australia. The bonds were bought by Commonwealth Bank of Australia, First State Super, NSW Treasury Corporation, Northern Trust, QBE, South Australian Government Financing Authority and Treasury Corporation of Victoria.
