30th June 2025
Monday sees a much slower pace of issuance in the EUR Non-Covered-Fig sector, with just one deal out in the market for Eurobank SA, a EUR500m no grow, senior non preferred 3NC2 trade. There is also a fresh mandate from ZKB, with investor calls for a potential 5yr senior unsecured transaction. Another mandate is also in play for SOGECAP, which is starting investor calls regarding a potential PNC 10.5 RT1 deal, in conjunction with a tender offer for one of its older undated subordinated notes. In the USD market we have seen an announcement for a new deal for ABN AMRO Bank N.V., marketing a possible dual part senior preferred fixed rate 3yr and /or FRN.
Non covered FIG saw the only live deal in play on Friday, as CA Auto Bank Spa launched the mandated inaugural 3yr senior green transaction. The EUR500m no grow deal was out with IPTs at m/s+100 and attracted healthy demand allowing final pricing to land at m/s +73 with books seen at EUR2.1bn. Last week saw high demand for the mainly subordinated debt on offer, with two very busy days on Monday and Tuesday, and issuance volumes tailing off into the latter part of the week. Pricing was very aggressive with the majority of deals finalising at or through perceived fair value, which led to a diversity of secondary performance. Market participants expect a slight fall in volumes this week with the average estimate around EUR4bn.
