The three-year bond carries a 4.3% coupon. The issue was oversubscribed 1.7 times, Varga said, adding that the issue winds up Hungaryʼs RMB 3 bln panda bond program launched in 2017.
Hungary issued its first, RMB 1 bln of panda bonds in July 2017. That bond carried a coupon of 4.85%.
Varga noted that Hungaryʼs panda bonds were also available to international institutional investors, through Bond Connect, a novel mutual market access scheme that allows investors from mainland China and overseas to trade in each otherʼs bond markets.
In April 2016, Hungary issued a RMB 1 bln "dim sum" bond, targeted at international investors.
