ANZ and Westpac's US activity dominates first days of 2011
- Friday, 07 January 2011

ANZ and Westpac Banking Corporation (Westpac) both announced buyback offers for US dollar, government-guaranteed benchmark bond lines with the former also pricing US$3 billion in a new standalone twin-maturity issue.
