Colombia’s Banco de Bogota is seeking to raise $1 billion through a debt issue, Reuters reports. The debt will have maturities of between seven and 10 years.

The debt will be issued in foreign markets. Colombia’s second-ranked bank will utilize the proceeds to repay debt from its $1.9 billion purchase of Central American bank BAC-Credomatic from General Electric Co. last year.
