Lebanon hired Blom Bank SAL (BLOM) and Citigroup Inc. (C) to sell $1.2 billion of Eurobonds to roll over debt maturing next month.
The country will sell five-year bonds paying an annual coupon of about 4.75 percent and debt maturing in 2022 that pays 6.2 percent, Blom said in an e-mailed statement.
The Arab nation has a $750 million bond maturing Aug. 2, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It also needs to pay about $200 million in interest next month, according to the Association of Banks in Lebanon.
