Inter-American Development Bank issues HKD 1.48 billion in notes

WASHINGTON - The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has announced the pricing of a HKD 1.476 billion note issuance under its Global Debt Program, with an interest rate of 3.76 percent and a maturity date set for March 7, 2030. The notes, identified as Series No: 978, were priced at 100 percent of their aggregate principal amount.

The issue date for the notes was March 7, 2025, and they will pay interest annually in arrears on March 7 of each year, starting from March 7, 2026, until the maturity date. The interest payment and principal are denominated in Hong Kong Dollars (HKD).

According to the terms outlined in the pricing supplement, the notes will be in bearer form and initially represented by a temporary global note, with the possibility of exchange for a permanent global note at a later date. However, there are no plans to list the notes on any stock exchange.

HSBC Bank PLC acted as the dealer for this issuance but did not receive commissions or concessions. The bank has also arranged a swap in connection with the transaction. The notes have been structured to comply with various international selling restrictions, including those in the United States, the United Kingdom (TADAWUL:4280), Hong Kong, and Singapore.

The notes are exempt securities within the meaning of certain U.S. securities laws and are subject to U.S. tax law requirements. The offering materials emphasize that the notes may not be offered, sold, or delivered within the United States or to U.S. persons, except under specified circumstances permitted by U.S. tax regulations.

The IDB has not taken any action that would allow a public offering of the notes in any jurisdiction where such an action would be required. The dealer is obliged to observe all applicable laws when offering or selling the notes or distributing any offering material.

This issuance is part of the IDB’s efforts to raise capital for its development programs. The IDB is a leading source of long-term financing for economic, social, and institutional development in Latin America and the Caribbean. The information presented in this article is based on a press release statement from the IDB.
