The European Union issued EUR 8 billion in their first syndicated transaction of the year

This week, we were pleased to support the Commission’s return to the capital markets via its first EUR 8bn syndication of 2024. The highly successful deal attracted a wide range of investors, as demonstrated by the exceptionally high-quality and oversubscribed order book which totalled EUR 180bn from over 900 accounts. CACIB is proud to support the European Union’s objectives for a green and digital recovery of its Member States and third countries.

The European Union has sent a strong message to markets collecting the largest books in SSA this year for their first syndication. The quality and depth of demand position EU within the small group of large EGB issuers. We were proud and honoured to act as a joint lead manager and duration manager for their first transaction of the year.

The EUR 180 bn book shows the strong interest of investor for EU, which will be one of the largest European public sector issuers this year with a EUR 75bn funding target for H1 2024.
