Enel, the largest listed European utility and generator of 80% of electricity supply in Italy, is rumoured to be considering a Singapore dollar bond. Deutsche Bank is said to have won the mandate, although the bank would not comment.

Despite the denial, market sources say that the deal will carry a coupon of 3.28% on a five-year tenor, equating to a spread of 47bp over Sibor. Details have not yet emerged for how much the issuer is looking to raise.
