Yes Bank Plans First Dollar Bond Issuance Since 2020 AT1 Debt Write-Off
Yes Bank is preparing to issue its first dollar bond since permanently writing off Additional Tier 1 (AT1) debt in 2020. The bank plans a benchmark-sized three-year US dollar note, engaging with fixed-income investors amid a broader surge in Indian lenders' overseas borrowing, supported by Reserve Bank of India measures. Since the 2020 crisis and rescue led by State Bank of India, Yes Bank has seen a steady turnaround, including a significant stake acquisition by Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and multiple credit rating upgrades.
