Poll

Gazpromneft stunned the market this week when it was revealed pricing for their five-year $1 billion pre-export financing was rumoured to be just above 300 basis points over Libor. Is the deal likely to be a syndication success?

12%

38%

Yes - but for all the wrong reasons. A lack of other deals in the market, and the promise of future business with Gazpromneft will make it hard to ignore but don’t expect many to take up big tickets with this deal. There are much better deals out there.
