    Dewa mulls listing $1b bond on Nasdaq Dubai

    (MENAFN) Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) said that it would list a $1 billion, five-year bond it issued in April on the Nasdaq Dubai exchange, Al-Ittihad reported reported. Dewa's bond was the first from Dubai since the emirate's debt issues emerged and will pay a semi-annual coupon of 8.5 percent, the authority said last month. Dewa's Chief Executive, Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, said that the authority is currently considering listing the bond issued in mid-April worth $1 billion for trading on the Nasdaq Dubai.
