Bloomberg: Zambia Sells Africa’s First 2014 Eurobond After Deficit Jump


Bloomberg reported today that Zambia, Africa's second largest Copper producer, attracted more demand from investors in Africa’s first dollar-bond sale of 2014 than the $1 billion it offered, according to the Finance Ministry of the continent’s second-biggest copper producer.

“The second bond just like the first was significantly oversubscribed -- an expression and affirmation of the confidence the international investor community has in Zambia,” said Edgar Lungu, acting finance minister, who is also the country’s defense minister.
