Malaysia meets European demand

Issuer: Government of Malaysia Amount: €650m Type of issue: Eurobond Date of issue: November 16

Complaints about lack of transparency on the Malaysian government’s award of the mandate for its euro-denominated bond issue have been dismissed by participants in the deal.

Though formal invitations to bid were not circulated, the issue was “no big secret”, says a Deutsche Bank source, who adds: “Everyone had ample time to respond.”

Deutsche Bank and Barclays Capital were joint lead managers, while co-managers were ABN Amro Bank, CIMB bank, Dresdner Kleinwort Benson, HSBC, JP Morgan and Schroder Salomon Smith Barney.
