VTB Capital Strengthens Its Position In The Chinese High Yield Eurobond Market

VTB Capital priced 9 DCM-deals in China during January and February 2018 with a total volume of US$2.7bn. This strong start positions VTB Capital within the leading 10 bookrunners of Eurobonds for Chinese issuers with sub-investment grade rating for the first time.*

Riccardo Orcel, Head of Global Banking at VTB Capital, said: “No international bank has led more high yield Eurobonds for Chinese issuers than VTB Capital so far this year. We are the only Russian investment bank that executes deals for Chinese companies in the international debt market. VTB Capital has quickly established strong relationships with a number of leading Chinese companies and we are pleased to see that as well as attracting new issuers, we are also seeing many clients come back to us for repeat placements, the best sign of satisfaction a client can give.”

Since 2014, VTB Capital has executed 38 DCM-transactions worth approximately $9.5bn for Chinese clients.
