EM CREDIT SUPPLY: PT Bank Tabungan Negara (BBTNIJ, Baa2/NR/NR) - FV Thoughts
*IPT: BANK TABUNGAN NEGARA $ 5Y TIER 2 SOCIAL NOTES 6.55% AREA
New Issue: $Benchmark 5y Tier 2
IPT: 6.55% area
FV: 6.0%
Rating: Ba3 Expected.
PT Bank Tabungan Negara (BBTNIJ) is coming to the market with a 5y $benchmark Tier 2 bond. The issuer is a majority State (60%) owned Indonesian commercial bank.
In terms of possible fair value, there are a limited number of relevant comps at the expected rating, however we include bank peers such as PT Bank Negara Indonesia (BBNIIJ), Bangkok Bank (BBLTB), but also other Bank issuers.
We note that the recently matured Bank Tabungan Negara $300m 4.2% 1/25 subordinated bond, unrated at the time, had historically traded close to Bank Negara Indonesia. The existing Bank Negara Indonesia subordinated bond trades around 100bp wide of the Bangkok senior curve now.
We think this is a good guide for a possible 5y Bank Tabungan Negara bond, in which 100bp wide of the Bangkok Bank curve gives a fair value around z+220bp (T+192bp, yield c. 6%).

US TSYS: Yields Pull Back Again With Consumer Growth Story In Question
Treasuries outperformed global counterparts Friday, fully completing a reversal from a midweek selloff.
- A large miss in January retail sales (-0.9% M/M vs 0.7% prior, -0.2% consensus) represented the biggest sequential drop in 22 months, with a similarly weak "control group" figure leading to a 0.5pp downgrade to the Atlanta Fed's GDP nowcast (to 2.3% GDP growth in Q1, i.e. no acceleration from Q4).
- That was enough to see the 10Y Treasury yield drop 7bp in the subsequent half hour, continuing the downtrend seen beginning in the immediate aftermath of Wednesday's hot CPI release. 10Y yields dropped over 21bp from the Wednesday high to Thursday's low, ultimately ending a tumultuous week 1.5bp lower.
- Yields ticked a little higher in afternoon trade Friday but the curve leaned bull steeper on the day, with the belly outperforming: 2-Yr yield is down 4.6bps at 4.261%, 5-Yr is down 5.7bps at 4.3328%, 10-Yr is down 5.1bps at 4.4782%, and 30-Yr is down 3.9bps at 4.6982%.
- In futures: Mar 10-Yr futures (TY) up 9/32 at 109-08 (L: 108-26 / H: 109-15.5).
- Other data (industrial production mixed, import prices soft) had little lasting impact.
- The coming week’s data schedule is relatively light, due in part to Monday’s Presidents Day holiday (SIFMA recommends bond cash close, equities closed), with initial jobless claims, February prelim PMIs, and regional Fed manufacturing surveys among the highlights. Supply includes 20Y Bond and 30Y TIPS auctions.
- We also get plenty of Fed communications including the January meeting minutes, and speaking appearances by both doves (Gov Waller) and hawks (St Louis Pres Musalem).

USDCAD broke lower Thursday, breaking out of a tight trading range this week and remains soft. A key support at 1.4261, the Jan 20 low, has been cleared and this signals scope for an extension of the current bear cycle - a correction. Scope is seen for a move towards 1.4107, a Fibonacci retracement. Initial firm resistance to watch is 1.4380, the Feb 10 high. A break would highlight an early bullish reversal signal.
