PTT will issue $2bn in debt to fuel growth

10-year bonds aimed at long-term investments

The SET-listed PTT Plc, Thailand's energy flagship, expects to introduce US-dollar-denominated debentures worth up to US$2 billion to take advantage of high liquidity and low interest rates in the US.

The 10-year bond issue is expected by the end of this month or early next month, said chief financial officer Surong Bulakul.

Proceeds from the debentures will finance business expansion at PTT and support the capital increase of PTT Exploration and Production Plc. Details of the debentures will be finalised next week.

    Not a bad idea, the THB is undervalued according to the IMF , the real value would be around 27-28THB/USD which would mean that not only would PTT get a low interest USD loan, but they would need less THB to pay the loan back ...a win win for PTT, well thought guys !
