Volume in the Kangaroo markets looks set to hit a record for the first month of the year as KfW Bankengruppe (KfW) (AAA/Aaa/AAA) launched its second deal of 2010 – a A$300 million (US$278.97 million) minimum increase to its August 2013 line – on January 11. Already A$1.75 billion of Kangaroos has come to market this year and with two more deals preparing to price the January record issuance of A$2.625 billion, from 2008, is under threat.
