The Development Bank of Kazakhstan issued an additional $425 million in 10-year eurobonds as part of a global bond program worth up to $2 billion, Andrei Solovyov, head of debt capital markets at VTB Capital, said Thursday.
The paper was priced to pay an annual coupon of 4.125 percent, Solovyov said. VTB was co-organizer of the issue.
The state-run Development Bank of Kazakhstan, wholly owned by the Central Asian nation's sovereign wealth fund, Samruk-Kazyna, issued a $1 billion eurobond with an annual coupon of 4.326 percent in November.
The bank, which acts as an investment institution on behalf of the state, said at the time that it planned to use proceeds from the issue to redeem its outstanding five-year eurobond from December 2010.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
