[LATAM CLOSE]: Week In Review

The LatAm new issue market closed out the week without any trades and without any additions to the pipeline, although this was simply the quiet conclusion to the busiest week since the first week of the year. Four deals (seven tranches) totaling $10.245bln brought February volume to a record $16.625bln, making February 2025 the most prolific February all-time. The last time Latam credits had combined to bring a monthly tally similar to what we have seen this month so far was back in 2012, when February’s total was $15.31bln.

The week kicked off with two very large sovereign deals: Brazil with a $2.5bln offering due in 2035 and the Dominican Republic with a USD/DOP three-tranche trade ($2bln, $1bln, and DOP 125bln/USD 1.995bln equivalent). Itau Unibanco Holding SA then brought FIGs into play with a $1bln offering due in 2030, and Raizen Fuels Finance closed out the week with a two-part, $1.75bln offering: a new note due in 2037 and a tap of the o/s 6.95% note due in 2054.

The new YTD total is $47.781bln, with 2025 volume now ahead of where 2024 was at this time last year – nearly $39bln. As 2024 was a year of recovery following two very lean issuance years, January 2025 was nearly head-to-head with January 2024 ($31.156bln vs. $31.184bln). It’s still extremely early in 2025, but if momentum remains as it has been, Latam may have an even stronger year than 2024.
