April 3 (Reuters) - Cyprus hired banks on Monday to sell its first ever sustainable bond, according to a lead manager memo seen by Reuters. The 10-year bond sale will be launched "in the near future subject to market conditions," a phrase debt management offices usually use a day before a sale, the memo said, and will be registered under Cyprus's EMTN programme.


Sustainable bonds are a broader form of environmental, social, and governance-focused (ESG) debt, proceeds of which can be spent on both green and social projects. Cyprus's bond sale will come to market following investor meetings last week. Barclays, HSBC, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley and Societe Generale will manage the sale as indicated last week.
