As expected, US and European institutions had strong appetite for the offering, but Middle Eastern and Asian funds are represented in the order book in larger numbers than they were in Egypt\u2019s previous offerings, Vice Minister of Finance Ahmed Kouchouk told us in a call overnight. \u201cThe issuance reflects foreign investors\u2019 continued confidence in the Egyptian economy and faith in the government\u2019s economic reform program,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Appetite was strong across all three tranches<\/strong>, capturing investors looking to exposure over both the short and long haul, among them global giants including Blackrock, Kouchouk said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Egypt is the first emerging market to close a eurobond offering since before the selloff, Kouchouk said<\/strong>, echoing El Garhy and noting that a number of other EM including Indonesia have postponed or called off offerings in view of the global climate right now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>USD proceeds will be used to bolster the central bank\u2019s foreign currency reserves<\/strong>, the ministry statement notes. El Garhy <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/01\/29\/usd-4-bn-eurobond-issuance-to-take-place-in-second-week-of-february\/\">had previously said<\/a> that the the bonds will be issued on the London and Luxembourg stock exchanges.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The offering is being closely watched by the international press<\/strong>, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/295b3cbe-10b3-11e8-8cb6-b9ccc4c4dbbb\">Financial Times<\/a> noting (before the sale closed yesterday) that Egypt was betting on the international debt market in turbulent times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advisors: <\/strong>HSBC, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase & Co, Morgan Stanley, and National Bank of Abu Dhabi led the issuance.
