Eurobond

Eurobond

A bond that is denominated in a different currency than the one of the country in which the bond is issued.

Notes:

A eurobond is usually categorized by the currency in which it is denominated, and is usually issued by an international syndicate. An example of a eurobond is a eurodollar bond, which is denominated in U.S. dollars and issued in Japan by an Australian company. Note that the Australian company can issue the eurodollar bond in any country other than the United States.

Eurobonds are attractive methods of financing as they give issuers the flexibility to choose the country in which to offer their bond according to the country's regulatory constraints. In addition, they may denominate their eurobond in their preferred currency. Eurobonds are attractive to investors as they have small par values and high liquidity.
