Azerbaijan's Southern Gas Corridor company plans to place $2 billion in bonds on international financial markets in the first half of February, Azeri Finance Minister Samir Sharifov said on Thursday.
The company runs a gas pipeline stretching from Azerbaijan through Turkey to Europe, which is designed to deliver gas from Azerbaijan's major Shah Deniz gas field.
Azerbaijan as a sovereign borrower is not in need of urgent loans, but the government may seek to borrow later to support the economy hit by low oil prices, Sharifov said, without elaborating.
