KB증권, 최대 8000억 공모채 '노크'…금리 경쟁력 '주목'

KB Securities' bond issuance strategy reflects a critical shift toward longer-term funding to reduce dependence on volatile short-term commercial paper markets.

This move is especially significant as rising interest rates threaten to increase refinancing costs on its substantial commercial paper program (representing nearly 24% of total borrowings).
