Bouygues successfully completes €2 billion bond issue
Bouygues has successfully completed a bond issue totalling €2 billion, comprising two separate tranches:
- €1 billion for 7 years, with a coupon of 2.25%. The economic cost for the Group, after factoring in
pre-hedging, comes to slightly below 0.95%. - €1 billion for 15 years, with a coupon of 3.25%. The economic cost for the Group, after factoring in

Within the scope of the Equans acquisition and in order to secure its financing, the Bouygues group contracted, in December 2021, a syndicated loan, of a duration of two years from the Equans acquisition, totalling
€6 billion. The intention is to refinance this syndicated loan on the bond markets. Today’s bond issue marks an initial milestone in this refinancing.
The strong demand for this issue from bond investors confirms the market’s confidence in the Group’s creditworthiness. Bouygues' credit rating is A3/stable outlook with Moody’s and A-/Negative CreditWatch with Standard & Poor’s.
