Brasília – The Brazilian Ministry of Finance informed today (06) that the National Treasury is going to issue this year’s first batch of Bonds of the Republic denominated in dollars, maturing in January 2019. The bonds are issued in the international market in order to manage the foreign debt.
The bonds are going to be initially traded in the United States and European markets, and may also be issued in Asia, after the market opens, according to information supplied by the Ministry. The international financial institution appointed for the issuance has not yet been disclosed.
The results of such issuances, in the United States and in Europe, will only be disclosed upon confirmation of an eventual offering of bonds in the Asian market, according to information supplied by the National Treasury. Brazil has also held similar issuances abroad in euros, yens and reals, with different maturing dates.
