KfW launches sixth Global of its USD-Programme in 2009

Frankfurt (ots) - KfW launched its sixth USD Global in 2009 on
Wednesday afternoon. The issue has a maturity of five years and a
volume of three billion USD. In recent weeks strong demand was
gathered in this tenor; so KfW could further complete its supply of
USD-Globalnotes, which contains maturities from 2-10 years.

The USD three billion issue with a settlement on October 21st 2009
matures on October 21st 2014. With a coupon of 2.75% s.a. and a
reoffer price of 99.926% it yields 2.766% semi-annually. This
corresponds to a yield pick-up of 44.25 basis points over the current
five-year US Treasury maturing in September 2014. The bond will have
an AAA/Aaa/AAA rating from Fitch Ratings, Moody's and Standard &
Poor's. The transaction is lead managed by Barclays Capital, JP
Morgan, and Royal Bank of Canada CM. Co-Lead Managers are BNP
Paribas, Citi, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, DZ Bank, HSBC, Morgan
Stanley, Royal Bank of Scotland, Toronto Dominion Bank, and UBS.

Active demand was gathered especially out of Asia and the US. The
108 individual orders from 27 different countries showed once more
the worldwide demand of institutional investors for the excellent
credit risk of KfW, whose bonds are explicitely guaranteed by the
Federal Republic of Germany. The orderbook was opened on Tuesday
afternoon and was at closing on Wednesday afternoon with a volume in
excess of USD 3.6 billion clearly oversubscribed.
