LONDON, April 26 (Reuters) - Britain received a record
46.4 billion pounds ($57.9 billion) in demand from investors at
the launch of a new index-linked government bond which will
mature in March 2045, the United Kingdom Debt Management Office
said on Wednesday.
The DMO said that domestic investors accounted for 93% of
the allocations of the bond, of which it is issuing 4.5 billion
pounds following the syndication process.
The volume of orders is the highest for any index-linked
bond issued via syndication by the DMO, although conventional
gilt syndications have seen greater order volumes.
