AIIB Advances 2025 Funding Program with Strong Return to USD Market

The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB, AAA/Aaa/AAA) has made a strong return to the U.S. dollar market, building an order book in excess of USD9.5 billion with a 5-year USD Sustainable Development Bond.

Priced on January 9, the benchmark bond raised USD2 billion and followed closely after AIIB priced a GBP500 million Oct-2029 Sustainable Development Bond on January 3. This marks the Bank's seventh consecutive year as an issuer in the U.S. dollar market raising over USD27 billion.

Domenico Nardelli, AIIB Treasurer, said, "I am thrilled to start 2025 building on the momentum we saw last year. We continue to see strong investor demand to support sustainable development in our Members and are particularly pleased to see the resilience of our investor base. Compared to the 5-year bond we issued last January, the investor composition has evolved in line with market dynamics, which demonstrates the depth and breadth of investors that AIIB is fortunate to have."

"The trade was capped at USD2 billion to provide room for further U.S. dollar benchmarks later in the year," remarked Darren Stipe, AIIB Head of Funding. "The most satisfying outcome was to see the strong support for our credit in the primary market, followed immediately by solid performance after the trade".

BMO Capital Markets, Citigroup Global Markets, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank and J.P. Morgan were the joint lead managers for the transaction.
