Reuters - UK Focus

LONDON, March 10 (Reuters) - The launch of a Bank of England $2 billion three-year Eurobond attracted orders close to $3 billion by the time order books closed, lead managers on the deal said on Tuesday.

The sale was part of an annual programme to finance the BoE (Shenzhen: 200725.SZ - news) 's foreign currency reserves.

Barclays (LSE: BARC.L - news) , JPMorgan (LSE: JPIU.L - news) , Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley (Xetra: 885836 - news) were the lead managers.
