Fannie, Deutsche Bank Issue Inflation-Linked Debt

Fannie Mae and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. are bringing to market a five-year, $500 million inflation-linked debt security with coupons linked to the changes in the Consumer Price Index, Fannie Mae has reported."While Fannie Mae has no current plans to issue inflation-linked debt on a programmatic basis, the company would consider future issuances on a case-by-case basis in context of the market's demand and our funding needs," said Linda Knight, Fannie Mae senior vice president and treasurer.
