In the wake of the first Korean-origin Kangaroo transaction of 2017, The Export-Import Bank of Korea (Kexim’s) Seoul-based treasurer, Hee Sung Yoon, tells KangaNews greater domestic takeup of the deal is down to the issuer’s long-term engagement with the market. Kexim printed the A$500 million (US$383.7 million) deal on 7 February, in the first-ever three-tranche deal from a Korean credit in Australia.
