million each. The tranches had tenors of 5 and 10 years, with coupon rates of 5.125% and 6.375%,
respectively.
2017: After a four-year hiatus, Nigeria re-entered the Eurobond market. In February, it issued $1.5
billion, followed by a $300 million Diaspora Bond in June. Additionally, in November, Nigeria raised
another $3 billion, issued in two tranches of $1.5 billion each with maturities of 10 and 30 years .
2018: Nigeria issued $2.5 billion in Eurobonds in February and an additional $2.86 billion in
November. These issuances included various tranches with maturities ranging from 7 to 30 years and
coupon rates between 7.143% and 9.248%.
2021: In September, Nigeria raised $4 billion from Eurobonds, exceeding the initial target of $3
billion. The bonds were issued in three tranches: $1.25 billion for 7 years at a 6.125% yield, $1.5
