Saudi Arabia’s first international debt sale has reportedly generated large interest from Asian investors that the Kingdom is weighing a full pipeline of bonds to follow a USD15bn initial auction as early as October. Initial soundings have shown strong Asian demand for the 30-year maturity, while US investors prefer a 10-year maturity, one source said. A second sale could be possible next year if oil prices remain below USD50 a barrel, according to another source. Saudi officials are expected to discuss their plans with potential investors at next week’s G20 meeting in China. A roadshow – which will set the final size and tenor of the deal - could then begin at early-October with the deal potentially closing around the time of the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in Washington on 7-9 October.
