Cemex, a leading cement producer, said that it had sold $1 billion in seven-year bonds to help pay 2012 debt and avoid a repayment bottleneck. The notes to mature in 2018 will pay a coupon of 9 per cent and are callable after their fourth anniversary. Cemex said in a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission it was offering a private placement sold only to qualified institutional buyers and to offshore investors. In a further statement, the company said the funds were in part meant to reduce short-term refinancing risk. Monterrey-based Cemex, one of Latin America’s top publicly-traded companies, also said it won approval from its bankers last month to use money from bond placements to prepay commercial paper maturing in 2012. Fitch Ratings assigned a B-plus/RR3 rating and added that the money raised would be used to repay debt, while Standard and Poor’s gave ‘B’ rating.

According to a Moody’s report, India’s cement consumption is projected to rise by 50 per cent over the next five years, increasing from 445 million metric tons per annum (MMTPA) in FY24 to 670 MMTPA by 2030. This growth is expected to be driven by government infrastructure spending and rising housing demand, with an anticipated annual growth rate of 6-7 per cent.
