The World Bank has issued DM 750 million (about US$ 443 million) of 10-year bonds through an international group of banks lead managed by Deutsche Bank.
The bonds carry an 8-3/4 percent coupon and are priced at 99-7/8 for a yield of 8.59 percent on a semi-annual coupon equivalent basis. The bonds will be repaid at par on April 19, 2000 and are non-callable. They will be listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange with the 8-3/4 percent bonds that were issued by the World Bank last month for settlement on April 19, 1990.
