More securitized debt coming
MNHD to tap securitization market before end of 1H 2023: EGX-listed Madinet Nasr Housing and Development (MNHD) is looking to take the second issuance of its three-year, EGP 3 bn securitization program to market before the end of 1H 2023, MNHD CEO Abdallah Sallam told Bloomberg Asharq (watch, runtime: 1:35). The issuance could be in the range of EGP 1 bn, though Sallam emphasized that the value could change depending on how the company’s debt-raising needs develop.
REFRESHER- The developer closed the first EGP 300 mn issuance of the program at the start of the year. The company had signed an EGP 750 mn sale and leaseback agreement with EFG Hermes in December, which is set to include a few securitization issuances as follow-on transactions.
Advisors: Our friends at EFG Hermes are acting as the sole financial adviser, transaction manager, book-runner, arranger and co-underwriter on the issuance. CIB is acting as an underwriter and custodian.
It’s been a bumper year for the securitized bond market: The total value of securitized bond issuances brought to market this year currently stands at some EGP 42 bn, following a blockbuster EGP 20 bn issuance from the New Urban Communities Authority’s Al Taamir earlier this month, according to our internal trackers. That dwarfs the EGP 15.8 bn taken to market during the whole of 2021.
