Zambia may raise bond buyback offer to 85 cents, Morgan Stanley says
Morgan Stanley suggests that Zambia may increase its bond buyback offer to 85 cents on the dollar for its 2053 note, up from an initial offer of 78 cents. This move comes as Zambia aims to secure the necessary 75% bondholder acceptance to trigger a clean-up call mechanism, despite uncertainty over whether the revised price will satisfy bondholders who previously rejected the lower offer. Analyst Neville Mandimika noted that if bondholders benchmark against Ghana's 2035 yields, a fair value for Zambia's bonds could be closer to 97 cents, implying 85 cents might still be considered too low.
