LONDON, April 26 (Reuters) - Britain received orders
worth more than 40 billion pounds ($50 billion) for a new 0.625%
index-linked government bond due to mature in March 2045 at a
sale via syndication on Tuesday, a bookrunner on the transaction
said.
The bond was priced to yield 3.75 basis points more than the
existing 0.125% 2044 index-linked gilt , representing
a price at the top end of initial guidance, as standard at
British government bond syndications.
The sale was handled by Bank of America, BNP Paribas, J.P.
Morgan and UBS as joint lead managers.
