Japan's Nissan Motor Co will issue $8bn in dollar-denominated debt (roughly R 134.05bn) and is considering euro-denominated bonds, it said on Friday, as the troubled automaker looks to diversify its funding. The bond sale is its first dollar-denominated issuance since its tie-up with France's Renault SA in 1999, a Nissan representative said. It comes as investors have expressed deepening concern about Nissan, which has warned of a record $4.5bn loss (roughly R 75.4bn) this year as the pandemic hampers its turnaround efforts.
