Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – 09 July 2025: Banque Saudi Fransi (BSF), a leading Saudi financial institution, has successfully concluded its second syndicated loan in the Asian market, raising USD 1 billion (~SAR 3.75 billion) in a significantly oversubscribed transaction. The deal was jointly coordinated by Mizuho Bank and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC), reinforcing BSF’s growing stature among global institutional investors.
Driven by strong investor demand, the transaction achieved 2x oversubscription, attracting commitments from 24 prominent institutions across Asia. The strength of the orderbook enabled BSF to upsize the facility from its initial launch size of USD 750 million and secure pricing at more competitive levels than its 2024 debut.
The successful outcome reflects BSF’s robust credit fundamentals, disciplined execution, and increasing global recognition. The transaction saw broad participation from a geographically diverse group of investors across Asia, underscoring its strategic importance to BSF’s funding base. Repeat participation from investors in BSF’s inaugural Asian syndication, combined with strong interest from new names, demonstrates sustained confidence in the bank’s performance and long-term strategy.
The offering was supported by an extensive investor roadshow across key regional financial centres in Asia. These engagements played a critical role in building momentum, deepening relationships, and accelerating execution.
This transaction marks a key milestone in BSF’s funding strategy, reinforcing its ability to access deep and diversified pools of global liquidity. It sets a strong precedent for future international market engagements and aligns with BSF’s long-term objectives under Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.
