EUROPE/AFRICA

摘要

Bulgaria has hired Citigroup, HSBC, and JP Morgan to lead the issuance of a new euro-denominated Eurobond, according to market sources. The sovereign, rated Baa2/BBB/BBB-, sent an RFP to banks in February and was considering issuing in either US dollars or euro. The three banks declined to comment. Bulgaria last issued international bonds in July 2012, when it raised €950m through a five-year note.
