Hana Bank, South Korea’s No. 4 bank, said Wednesday that it has raised $500 million by selling global bonds in order to repay maturing foreign currency debt.

The lender said the three-year bonds carry an interest rate of 1.375 percent, which translates into a rate of 1.05 percentage points higher than the yield on three-year U.S. Treasuries.

The debt sale was co-arranged by five foreign investment banks, including Barclays and BoA-Merrill Lynch, the bank added. (Yonhap News)
