The World Bank sold its first batch of Special Drawing Right (SDR) bonds in China at a yield well below those for similar Chinese bonds, highlighting Beijing's challenge in getting global recognition for its yuan currency and SDR assets.
The three-year bonds were sold at 0.49 percent, two sources with direct knowledge of the deal told IFR, a publication of Thomson Reuters, at the lower end of the World Bank guidance at 0.4-0.7 percent and below the three-year Chinese government bond yield at 2.434/2.387 percent.
