(CercleFinance.com) - On Wednesday ArcelorMittal announced the launch of a bond issue totaling E1bn, which it will mainly use to refinance its debt.


The first 4-year tranche (maturing in 2028) totals E500m and carries a fixed interest rate of 3.125%, while the second 7-year tranche (maturing in 2031) totals E500m and carries a fixed interest rate of 3.50%, the steelmaker said.
