Millennium considers drawing on state guarantee
LISBON, Oct 24 (Reuters) - Portugal's largest private bank, Millennium bcp
(BCP.LS: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), said on Friday it planned to
issue debt, for which it will consider requesting the use of a credit
guarantee announced by the government to help banks.
Millennium said in a statement it would issue the debt but did not detail the
amount it was planning to raise. It said it would "consider requesting the
state guarantee" to back the debt.
Portugal's government announced last week a credit guarantee of 20 billion
euros for its banks, which they could draw on to ride out the global financial
crisis. (Reporting by Axel Bugge)
