South Korea's KB Kookmin Bank said on Tuesday that it issued €500 million ($545 million) in global covered bonds the previous day.
Covered bonds are issued by financial institutions, backed by high-quality assets they hold as collateral.
The interest rate for the issuance is 2.828% annually, which is 0.45 percentage points higher than the euro mid-swap (MS) rate.
These bonds, which will be listed on the Singapore and Frankfurt stock exchanges, are designated as sustainability bonds, with the funds raised being used for eco-friendly and social projects under KB Kookmin Bank's "Sustainable Finance Management Framework."
