Chile entered the debt markets with a social bond, one of the first emerging market sovereign issuances in what is expected to be a slower second half of the year after a surge of activity in the first months of 2024, managing to attract offers for 3,250 million euros (US$ 3,492 million).
The South American nation sold euro-denominated securities maturing in 2031 at a spread of 105 basis points over mid-swap , as reported by Bloomberg through close sources. This compares to initial price talks of around 130 basis points.
Government and corporate borrowers in developing markets issued $321 billion in debt in the busiest first half since 2021, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Bank of America Corp. expect sales to slow more than usual going forward as volatility is expected to increase due to political risk.
Chile last hit global debt markets in January, when it sold $1.7 billion in 5-year bonds at a spread of 85 basis points over similar U.S. Treasury securities. That sale represented the entire issuance in dollars planned for the year.
