Hong Kong's MTR Corporation completed its first public euro green bond sale on Wednesday, raising €3 billion. The transaction marks the company's largest-ever bond deal. It was also the largest Asia ex-Japan non-sovereign euro green bond offering.
The semi-privatised corporation said on Thursday that the sale comprised three tranches with maturities of eight, twelve and twenty years. The €1 billion eight-year tranche carried a coupon of 3.25 per cent, the €1 billion twelve-year tranche 3.625 per cent and the €1 billion twenty-year tranche 4.125 per cent. Demand was strong, with the combined order book peaking at €10.2 billion, more than three times the total issue size.
