The Inter-American Development Bank (“IDB” or “IADB”), rated Aaa/AAA (Moody’s/S&P), priced a new £500 million long 5-year July 2027 Fixed Rate Sustainable Development Bond.

The transaction pays an annual coupon of 2.500% and matures on 22nd July 2027. It was priced with a spread of 68 basis points over the UKT 1.250% July 2027 and carries a semi-annual yield of 2.552%.

The IDB last launched a new benchmark line in April 2022, and this transaction is the IDB’s third Sustainable Development Bond benchmark in the Sterling market. IDB demonstrated its deep reach in the Sterling market despite continued volatility and political headlines.

Taking advantage of a clear issuance window, the IDB successfully launched a new £500 million line to complement its outstanding curve in the Sterling market and diversify into new pockets of demand. The final orderbook in excess of £560 million is testament to IDB’s quality investment offering to investors.

The new GBP Sustainable Development Bond was met with a strong response from U.K. based investors receiving over two thirds of the allocation led by asset managers/insurance and pension funds who got allocated 52% of the transaction followed by banks (29%) and central banks/official institutions (19%).

“We are delighted to offer Sterling investors an opportunity to support our sustainable development projects in the Latin American and Caribbean region at an attractive spread over UK government bonds. For this third outing in the GBP primary markets in Sustainable Development Bond format, we identified an unexplored maturity which coincidentally filled a gap in our GBP curve. The strong ESG investor participation and quality of the order book allowed us to upsize the trade.” Laura Fan, Head of Funding, IDB
