FONPLATA marks new milestone with its first AUD-denominated issuance and dual 15-year sustainable placements

On July 24th, as part of its strategy to diversify funding sources, FONPLATA successfully completed a new transaction under its Medium-Term Note (MTN) Program through the issuance of two privately placed sustainable bonds, both with a 15-year maturity. The transaction reached a total equivalent amount of USD 60.1 million and represents a new milestone in the Bank’s commitment to responsible financing and the continued expansion of its funding base.

The transaction was structured in two tranches:

  • USD Tranche: Fixed-rate notes with an annual coupon of 5.879% for USD 35 million, maturing in August 2040.
  • AUD Tranche: Fixed-rate notes with an annual coupon of 6.294% for AUD 38 million (approximately USD 25.1 million equivalent), also maturing in August 2040.

These issuances represent FONPLATA’s longest-dated transactions to date. In addition, the AUD tranche marks the Bank’s first issuance in Australian dollars, expanding its footprint into new markets and further strengthening its multi-currency funding profile.

The transaction was fully subscribed by institutional investors based in Asia, reaffirming FONPLATA’s growing presence as a regular issuer in international capital markets.

This transaction—the Bank’s eighth in 2025—brings FONPLATA’s cumulative market funding to USD 470 million, covering 85% of its annual target. Of that total, nearly 50% has been issued under the Sustainable Debt Framework, underscoring the Bank’s ongoing focus on responsible and impact-driven financing.
