 Philippine lender Metropolitan Bank & Trust Co said on Thursday it has raised $1 billion from offshore markets via 5- and 10-year U.S. dollar-denominated notes.

Proceeds from the fundraising program will support the growing pipeline of customer transactions, said Metrobank, the Philippines‘ third-largest lender in asset terms.
