Copy and Paste Quote:
The Kenyan Government has raised $2 billion (Sh 200B) in a dollar denominated Eurobond sale on Wednesday which is split equally between 10- and 30-year tranches.
The 10 year bond will yield a coupon of 7.25% while the 30 year will yield a 8.25%.
Citi, JPMorgan, Standard Bank and Standard Chartered Bank managed the transaction.
As of yesterday afternoon, it was reported that the order book of the new issue was up to US$13.3 billion against govt’s target of US$2 Billion, suggesting huge foreign appetite for the country’s debt.
Kenya returned to international debt markets to cover its financing needs in addition to lightening the debt-servicing burden.
Of the $2 billion raised on Wednesday, $750M will go towards settling some of the foreign debts that mature before June.

Kenya Power half-year profit drops 30.3pc as debt financing costs rise Kenya Power’s net profit for the six months ended December 2017 dropped by 30.3 per cent to Sh2.93 billion, as the high cost of financing debt took a toll amid lethargic power consumption growth in a slowing economy. Financing costs rose by 42.7 per cent or Sh976 million to hit Sh3.3 billion in the period pulling down profits even as the total revenue grew by 14.8 per cent to Sh67.1 billion. “The decrease (in profit) was attributed to the general slowdown of the economy and an increase in financing costs…which rose during the period under review compared to the previous year as a result of utilisation of short term facilities,” said Kenya Power in a statement.
