# Ecopetrol issues dollar debt for the first time under the De la Espriella government

> Colombia's state-controlled oil company Ecopetrol is selling eight-year dollar bonds with an indicated yield of about 8%, below the 8.35% initially discussed. It plans to use part of the proceeds to prepay some of the bridge loan used to acquire a stake in Brazil's Brava Energia.

## Why it matters

The bond sale refinances corporate debt and supports Ecopetrol's financing of its Brazilian expansion, but the reported transaction does not establish a near-term change in feed-commodity supply or demand.
