Santo Domingo.- Energía Natural Dominicana (Enadom), a company specializing in natural gas storage and transportation infrastructure, has received approval from the Superintendency of the Securities Market (SIMV) for a US$300 million Corporate Bond Issuance Program. The bonds, structured by CCI Puesto de Bolsa with BHD Puesto de Bolsa as co-placement agent, will have a maturity of up to 15 years.
