MdME advises on landmark Macau bond offering

We are proud to share that our Finance team, led by Tirso Olazábal, has advised The Bank of China Macau Branch on a landmark transaction: On its RMB 1bn 2-year Fixed Rate Notes issued under its US$40bn medium-term note programme.

We are delighted to have played a key role in advising on one of the first-ever bond issuances under the newly launched trading link between Macau and Hong Kong, with the recent linkage between the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and the Macau Central Securities Depository and Clearing Limited (MCSD). This milestone represents a significant step for the Macau bond market, with our lawyers Tirso Olazabal and Jacinto Wong working on this issuance.  

Tirso commented, "This transaction reflects Macau's financial markets' growing sophistication and development. We are delighted to have played a key role in this landmark issuance, highlighting the increasing importance of Macau as a hub for cross-border finance. It also highlights our team's capabilities to navigate complex transactions and MdME being at the forefront of most major developments in the Macau bond market".
