Qatar Insurance Co (QIC) plans a bond issue to boost its capital reserves, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Thursday. It would be the first perpetual bond to be issued by the insurance sector in the Gulf. Qatar's largest insurer by market value has chosen HSBC and BNP Paribas to arrange a series of meetings with fixed income investors.
The offering is expected to be of benchmark size, which is traditionally understood to mean upwards of $500 million, said one of the sources. The sources did not say when the meetings would take place, but said they are unlikely to be imminent given volatility in emerging market bonds in the wake of Donald Trump's election victory in the United States last week.
