“Foreign currency issuance aims to attract new investors and potentially allows QTC to tap into different pools of money of existing investors.” Ms Buckley said the transaction followed positive feedback and interest received during a QTC roadshow with investors in the UK and Europe earlier this year. “A diversified and well-managed long-term funding program ensures we can continue to invest in vital infrastructure and services including the Olympics, drive economic growth and improve the quality of life for all Queenslanders.” QTC’s Acting CEO Susan Buckley highlighted the strategic importance of the deal. “Issuing in non-Australian dollars has been an important evolution in QTC’s long term funding strategy and is aligned with our strategic goal to diversify and expand our investor base,” Ms Buckley said. 6 BUSINESS VIEW OCEANIA VOLUME 07, ISSUE 05
