AFRICAN EUROBONDS

African supranational Eurobonds, explained

Eurobonds issued by African multilateral lenders — development and trade banks owned by several states together — 9 bonds from 3 issuers. A lender owned by many governments has no single country of risk, so each is shown with the region its membership covers, as its own document states it. Every term on these pages is read from the issuer’s own document, and the page says which.

Live prices for all of them are on one page →

What is different about a supranational Eurobond

A supranational lender borrows in the international market and lends to governments and companies in its member countries. Its bonds are usually senior and unsecured, repaid in full at maturity; some carry a par call in the last months before maturity, which the bond’s page lists. A hybrid note — deeply subordinated, with a coupon that resets and interest that can be deferred — is shown with its price only, because a yield on those terms depends on assumptions the page would have to make.

Until a bond’s quoted yields have been checked against its terms, the page shows the price and withholds the yield, and says so.
