BOND - SYDNEY/JAKARTA. Indonesia has raised $3 billion in a U.S. dollar bond issuance, its first for the year in a transaction that drew in a total of $14.4 billion worth of orders, the government said on Thursday.
The Southeast Asian government issued the bonds in five-, 10- and 30-year tranches which raised $1 billion, $1.25 billion and $750 million respectively, the term sheet showed.
There were final orders worth $3.6 billion for the five-year bond, $4.7 billion for the 10 year and $6.15 billion for the longest dated tranche, details from one of the banks working on the deal showed.
The size of the order book showed "large investors' interest", which allowed Indonesia to tighten prices from its initial price guidance, it said in a statement.
