JAKARTA, Oct 10 (Reuters) – Indonesia has raised $2.54 billion in a dual-currency bond deal in U.S. dollars and euros, its finance ministry said in a statement. The bonds were issued in 5.5-year, 10.5-year, and 8-year tenors, respectively raising $600 million, $1.25 billion and 600 million euros ($693.72 million), according to the late Thursday statement. Final yields were set at 4.35% for the 5.5 year, 4.95% for 10.5 year U.S. dollar-denominated bond, and 3.75% for the 8-year euro-denominated sustainable bond, the ministry said.
