OREANDA-NEWS. April 30, 2010. Neil Slee, vice president in EM and corporate syndication at Credit Suisse, comments on recent Ukreximbank Eurobond transaction, the press-centre of Ukreximbank reported.

"The team did a phenomenal job communicating the story to investors on the roadshow. Their work resulted in a review of investor views regarding Ukraine which led to a strong rally in sovereign bonds during the course of the roadshow. The positive news regarding the IMF reconfirmed investors’ positive conclusions regarding Ukraine."

"Ukrexim has set a good benchmark for other issues to come to market," said Slee. "They have reopened the Ukrainian bond market demonstrating the depth of appetite out there for Ukrainian risk. The market is in a very good position now for other Ukrainian issuers, from sovereign through to non-sovereigns."
