Borrowers raised just 3.3 billion euros this week from syndicated debt sales, according to the Refinitiv data compiled for Reuters, which excludes pre-planned government bond auctions.
That was the lowest weekly amount all year, Refinitiv's data showed, and a tiny fraction of the 59.5 billion euros raised last week.
In contrast, $144 billion was raised in U.S. dollar-denominated deals this week, Refinitiv said, with the lion's share coming from an $89 billion debt sale by the U.S. Federal Home Loan Bank, a key lender to U.S. regional banks, to support member banks' liquidity needs.
