What is the typical volume of any one World Bank debt issue?
The issue size of World Bank debt offerings is driven by investor demand and the type of security to be issued. Over the past few years, new bond issues have ranged from less than US$10 million up to a maximum of US$4 billion. Large-sized liquid issues are typically placed with institutional investor accounts in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the Americas. Smaller World Bank bond issues are frequently driven by broad-based demand at the retail investor level in Europe and Japan. The World Bank also offers smaller-sized transactions in the specific issue volume that an individual institutional investor may require. Discount Notes are issued in a variety of amounts with a minimum of US$50,000.
