Yes Bank Plans Dollar Bond Issuance After 2020 AT1 Debt Write-Off
Yes Bank is preparing to return to the international bond market for the first time since its 2020 write-off of Additional Tier 1 debt, planning a benchmark-sized three-year US dollar note. The move follows a steady turnaround, including ratings upgrades and a significant stake purchase by Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group. This issuance aligns with increased overseas fundraising by Indian banks, supported by Reserve Bank of India measures to boost capital inflows and stabilize the rupee. Other Indian lenders like ICICI Bank are also active in dollar bond markets.
