  <abstract>The government issued the 'Infrastructure bond' with the objective of raising 18.5 billion to finance specific projects in roads, energy and water sectors, but ended receiving a whooping 26.8 billion from the market, representing an over subscription of 45%
The issuance of twelve years 'Infrastructure bond' was a bold step and an important landmark in our capital market and this development should give more confidence to the private sector to start rolling out long-term bonds for funding infrastructure projects.</abstract>
