Has the bond market improved sufficiently to be more attractive for commodity producers than the pre-export finance market?

No – bond investors aren’t ready yet for to do these types of credit. This is why we are now seeing a lot of listed metal producers in developed markets mandating for pre-export loans for the first time. The bond market is still much too volatile.
