Posco taps bond market with $700 million deal

Korea's leading steelmaker attracts strong demand for its 10-year bond, despite anxieties about its purchase of Daewoo International.

The world’s third biggest steelmaker, Pohang Iron and Steel Company (Posco), priced its second international bond issue in two years late Thursday.

According to the company, Posco plans to use the proceeds from the sale to pay for raw materials and overseas investments, such as the construction of steel mills in foreign countries and the development of mines for raw materials.
