Tencent is considering a $5 billion offshore bond sale in US dollars and yuan to fund AI and computing infrastructure investments, following its $4.66 billion bond offering in June. The move aligns with other global tech companies like SoftBank, which recently raised $11.1 billion for AI initiatives despite sector stability concerns.
South Korea's Ministry of Finance and Economy is considering banning foreign investment banks without domestic securities licenses from arranging offshore bond sales for local issuers, citing a surge in overseas issuances. The ministry is gathering feedback from licensed domestic banks before making an official announcement.
