The $2.1 billion Eurobond recently issued by Kenya has been listed on the Euronext Dublin on May 22, 2019, according to a notice published by the stock exchange.

Mid-May, Kenya raised $2.1 billion during a Eurobond issuance divided into two lots maturing in 7 and 12 years respectively. The interest rates are 7% and 8% respectively for the 7-year and 12-year bonds.  

The operation is aimed at funding infrastructure projects, refinancing a $750 million Eurobond issued in 2014 and funding budget expenses.
