World Bank equals largest SSA Kangaroo transaction with A$1.5 billion deal [UPDATED]

On the same day as it priced an increase to its December 2014 Kauri bond, World Bank (AAA/Aaa) priced A$1.5 billion (US$1.33 billion) in its new five-year benchmark Kangaroo transaction via ANZ, RBC Capital Markets and TD Securities. The transaction equals the volume of both the largest-ever supranational, sovereign and agency (SSA) Kangaroo deal and the largest single Kangaroo tranche from any issuer.
