TREE NEWS reports: Brazilian iron-ore miner Vale is considering its first onshore bond sale in China, aiming to raise up to 3.5 billion yuan, people familiar with the matter said. The company plans a roadshow in the week of Oct. 19 and could start marketing the three-, five- or 10-year notes as early as November. The panda bonds would be issued by Vale Overseas Limited with a parent guarantee.
Vale Weighs First Panda Bond, Seeking Up to 3.5B Yuan
A first panda bond from one of the world's largest iron-ore producers signals how far China's onshore market has opened to foreign issuers, and it arrives as Beijing encourages renminbi internationalisation. The choice of a guaranteed offshore entity suggests Vale is testing investor appetite rather than committing to a standing funding programme. Whether the deal prices tightly enough to encourage repeat issuance from other commodity majors is the open question.
