DUBAI- Qatar National Bank, the Gulf's biggest lender by assets, is set to raise 1.2 billion Chinese yuan ($170 million) through five-year bonds it sold on Monday with a 3.85% annual rate, according to a document detailing terms of the issue seen by Reuters.
Qatar National Bank, which will use the money for general corporate purposes, hired Credit Agricole as sole lead manager for the deal, the document said.
The bonds will be listed on the London Stock Exchange and the Taipei Exchange.
QNB has been tapping different overseas debt markets this year to diversify its funding.
