The China-based lender knowns as the ‘Brics bank’ launched a bond issue denominated in South African rand on August 15.

The New Development Bank (NDB) reported it received more than 2.5 billion rand ($130.6 million) in bids for its initial offer of 1 billion rand in bonds. The NDB said high demand meant it increased its issue to 1.5 billion rand. Two-thirds of the bonds will mature in five years and the remaining 500 million rand in three years.

NDB chief financial officer Leslie Maasdorp said
