Ukrainian EUR 1bn sovereign bond issuance in June 2019 is recognized “Best Europe SSA Bonds Deal 2020” by The Banker

In June 2019, Ukraine returned to the euro-denominated bond markets with its first euro issuance in 15 years. The transaction was launched on June 13, following a busy day for European sovereign issuance on June 12, and attracted huge interest for the EUR 1bn issue, with order books peaking at EUR 6bn. This allowed a significant tightening of pricing from initial guidance of 7.125% to a coupon of 6.75%. 

BNP Paribas and Goldman Sachs International acted as joint lead managers on the transaction.

"We are pleased that our return to the international euro debt market has gained international recognition. Ukraine's victory among the European deals of the year is another symbolic step on the path to our financial European integration. The success of the transaction depended on the efforts of our entire team working on it. Despite the situation on the international markets due to the spread of coronavirus, we will continue prudent public debt policy and building trust among the international capital market participants,"- commented Yuriy Butsa, Government Commissioner for Public Debt Management.
