Catalan officials led by region’s vice president Oriol Junqueras are planning to visit U.S.-based bond investors as they start exploring a possible return to the bond markets for a region that is pushing for independence from Spain.
Representatives from Catalonia plan to meet asset managers and investment bankers during a trip to New York in early May, said Pere Aragones, the region’s economic secretary, in an interview. Catalan officials already visited investors in London earlier this year, he said.
