MANILA, March 30 (Reuters) - The Philippine government is
seeking to raise as much as 5.5 billion yen ($500 million) from
a three-year Samurai bond offer that was priced on Tuesday with
a coupon rate of 0.001%, according to IFR.
Philippine Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez confirmed the
Samurai bond offer, which marks the country's first commercial
borrowing transaction in the overseas market this year, but gave
no further details.
