BHP Billiton targets AUD curve development following issuance return

Following its return to the Australian market with the country's largest-ever non-credit wrapped corporate bond deal, BHP Billiton says it expects to issue more AUD-denominated paper in future. The issuer also reveals that the size of its new deal – A$1 billion (US$1.03 billion) – significantly exceeded the volume threshold it targeted as a minimum for its return to the domestic market.
