By Emese Bartha

France issued 8 billion euros ($8.76 billion) in new June 2049-dated green government bonds, or OATs, via a bank syndicate, adding a new maturity point to its green OAT curve, one of the lead manager banks said.

Final books for the new issue closed above EUR98 billion, the same bank said. The spread on the bond was set 8 basis points above the mid-yield of the 0.50% June 2044 green OAT.

Joint lead managers of the transaction were BNP Paribas, BofA Securities, Credit Agricole CIB, J.P. Morgan and Societe Generale.
