Saudi Arabia plans to issue potential euro-denominated dual-tranche bonds consisting of a 7-year inaugural green bond and a 12-year bond, subject to market conditions, the fixed income news service IFR reported on Monday.
Last month, Saudi Arabia raised $12 billion from global debt markets in a three-part bond sale, attracting strong investor demand, with proceeds expected to help cover its budget deficit and pay down debt.
The total order book reached around $37 billion, the National Debt Management Center (NDMC) had said in a statement.
Saudi Arabia, the world’s top oil exporter, has forecast a fiscal deficit of $27 billion for 2025 as it continues strategic spending on projects linked to Vision 2030, the kingdom’s ambitious plan to overhaul the economy.
