South Pars Bond Sale
description
Iran plans to offer a 1 billion euro bond sale to finance the South Pars gas field project. The bond sale should rase 1 billion by December, rising to $12 billion USD by 2012. It is unlikely that this sale will attract attention from Western financial markets, as US banks are forbidden from financial dealings with Iran. This bond was released behind schedule, in early March of 2010 rather than late 2009.
