And finally this. In 1970 kenya was ahead of singapore




The most loudable thing here is their honest revelation that the budget is in surplus.We are used to be told of deficits no matter what.

Copy and Paste

Quote:

The Kenyan Government has raised $2 billion (Sh 200B) in a dollar denominated Eurobond sale on Wednesday which is split equally between 10- and 30-year tranches.

The 10 year bond will yield a coupon of 7.25% while the 30 year will yield a 8.25%.

Citi, JPMorgan, Standard Bank and Standard Chartered Bank managed the transaction.

As of yesterday afternoon, it was reported that the order book of the new issue was up to US$13.3 billion against govt’s target of US$2 Billion, suggesting huge foreign appetite for the country’s debt.

Kenya returned to international debt markets to cover its financing needs in addition to lightening the debt-servicing burden.

Of the $2 billion raised on Wednesday, $750M will go towards settling some of the foreign debts that mature before June.

Plus the LIBOR is way below what we are offering hence the massive oversubscription. The two men will finish us

No. The 7.25% is the effective rate per annum but LIBOR on USD borrowing which is the borrower currency stands at 2.4% p.a. It would be ideal for the borrowing to be rated 5% or lower as it is risk-free http://www.global-rates....t-rates/libor/libor.aspx
