In the second deal to come from a Korean quasi-sovereign in little over a week, Korea Development Bank KDB priced the country's third floating rate note deal from a policy bank early Wednesday morning November 16. The AAA3 FitchSPMoody's rated deal, led by Barclays, Credit Suisse First Boston and Morgan Stanley, was a $500 million Reg S transaction with a rare seven-year maturity.
The seven-year deal underlines the KDB's reputation as one of the region's most shrewd borrowers and was well timed to take advantage of growing investor appetite for FRNs.
