Brazil Raises $787.5M From Overseas Bonds Issue

SAO PAULO (Dow Jones)--The Brazilian government, through National Treasury, said Friday that it raised a total of $787.5 million from an issue of dollar-denominated sovereign global bond due January 2021, more than the $750 million previously announced.

The increase in the final amount was prompted by an extra offer of bonds of $37.5 million to Asian investors, the government said.  The bonds were issued at 115.6 basis points over Treasurys to yield 5% a year.
