Deal and ratings review, week ending November 2 2012

The last week of October saw a pair of Kangaroos and a trio of domestic deals, including a three-tranche issue from the Australian Prime Property Fund Retail with three separate maturities. The New Zealand markets also saw deal action after Genesis Power priced NZ$50 million last week, ushering in a new transaction by Meridian Energy and prospects of a deal by Kiwibank.
