Kuwait's Triumphant $11.25B Bond Issuance Boosts Global Standing
Kuwait has made a triumphant return to international debt markets, raising a substantial $11.25 billion through a successful bond issuance. This was one of the largest sovereign issuances globally in 2025, drawing significant interest from global investors on the stock market today.
The issuance, which included three tranches of $3.25 billion (3 years), $3 billion (5 years), and $5 billion (10 years), was oversubscribed 2.5 times, with total orders reaching $28 billion. Kuwait's Minister of Finance, Dr. Subaih Al-Mukhaizeem, attributed this success to the global market's confidence in Kuwait's financial resilience and prudent policies on the stock market.
The bonds were priced attractively at +40 basis points over US Treasuries for the shorter maturities and +50 basis points for the 10-year tranche. This issuance not only raised significant funds but also enhanced Kuwait's standing in international markets and strengthened ties with global investors on the stock market, aligning with Vision 2035. Notably, more than two-thirds of the allocations went to non-Middle Eastern investors, with significant portions going to Europe and the US.
Kuwait's return to the international debt markets after an 8-year hiatus was marked by a successful $11.25 billion bond issuance. The issuance's size, oversubscription, and global investor interest on the stock market today reflect the market's confidence in Kuwait's financial resilience. This achievement bolsters Kuwait's international standing and supports its long-term development plans.
