Cagamas, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Cagamas Global PLC, issued its inaugural Renminbi Medium Term Notes. This landmark transaction represents a number of “firsts” for Cagamas, the Malaysian as well as the international bond markets. This is Cagamas’ first ever non-Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) denominated bond issuance, the largest Chinese Renminbi (RMB) issue by a Malaysian issuer to-date, the largest RMB bond in Southeast Asia to-date and the world’s first RMB bond to be issued by a mortgage corporation. It also marks a significant milestone as the first RMB and non-MYR denominated bond to be settled via Malaysia’s Real-time Electronic Transfer of Funds and Securities System (“RENTAS”), operated and managed by Malaysian Electronic Clearing Corporation Sdn. Bhd. (“MyClear”).
