IFC Marks the Start of Fiscal Year 2027 with its Largest Kangaroo Bond

Washington, D.C., July 2, 2026 – The International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, launched its fiscal year 2027 funding program with the issuance of an AUD1.5 billion 5.5-Year benchmark bond. The transaction is IFC's largest Australian dollar issuance to date, underscoring IFC's long-standing commitment to the Kangaroo market and to maintaining a liquid benchmark curve for investors, while filling the last gap in IFC's well-developed Australian dollar curve. The fixed-rate note carries a coupon of 4.80% and priced at 36 basis points over the over the Australian government bond due November 2031. Final orders from over 50 investors exceeded AUD 4 billion, demonstrating robust and diverse investor appetite for high-quality SSA issuance in the Australian dollar market. The transaction attracted strong demand from a high-quality and geographically diversified investor base, including bank treasuries, central banks, and official institutions. Asia accounted for 43% of allocations, followed by Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) (33%), and Australia and New Zealand (24%). "This transaction demonstrates the depth of investor demand for IFC and our commitment to maintaining a liquid benchmark curve across key funding markets," said Jorge Familiar, Vice President and Treasurer, World Bank Group. "IFC's largest Kangaroo bond broadens liquidity, providing efficient funding to support IFC's development mission." The issuance marks IFC's first benchmark bond of the fiscal year and its first new AUD line since February 2025, when IFC issued an AUD 1.2 billion 5.25-year Kangaroo social bond. IFC remains a regular issuer in the Australian dollar market, where its domestic bonds are repo-eligible with the Reserve Bank of Australia. The transaction was arranged by Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Daiwa Capital Markets Europe, J.P. Morgan, and TD Securities. “Congratulations to the IFC team for an outstanding result on their return to the AUD Kangaroo market and first benchmark since Feb 2025.
