Indian Bank planning road-shows for dollar bond issue

14 Jul 2011 Evaluate

Indian Bank, the state-run lender is planning road-shows for its benchmark dollar bond issue from July 15 to July 19 and will be conducted in London, Hong Kong and Singapore. Last month, Indian Bank hired Royal Bank of Scotland, Standard Chartered, HSBC and Citigroup to arrange the issue.  The size of the issue could be in the $300 million to $500 million range and would be the lender's first global bond offering.

Recently, Indian Bank had increased its base rate by 25 basis points (bps) to 10.25% per annum from its existing 10.00% per annum. The bank had also increased its Benchmark Prime Lending Rate (BPLR) upwards by 25 bps to 14.25% per annum from 14% per annum with effect from July 13, 2011.

The hike in base rate reflects tight monetary conditions and is in line with the hike in key interest rate by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and also in line with peers in the lending industry.
