ICICI Bank Expands $1.45 Billion Offshore Loan Following $1 Billion Bond Sale
ICICI Bank has initiated a syndicated offshore loan of approximately $1.45 billion, expanding from an initial $1 billion agreement with Bank of America. The four-year loan, involving lenders like Mizuho Bank, Mashreqbank, and United Overseas Bank, carries a margin of 110 basis points over the US Secured Overnight Financing Rate. This move follows ICICI's recent $1 billion five-year bond sale and leverages a Reserve Bank of India facility aimed at reducing hedging costs amid increased offshore borrowing by Indian banks.
