Qatar has sold $ 12 in 2013 after attracting orders of around $ 5000 , even though demand was weak from other Arab nations due to their boycott of the country . “The political environment in the region remains challenging, however we would expect this bond to have support and buying interest out of Asia, Europe and other Western countries,” said Theodore Holland, senior portfolio manager at Fisch Asset Management. The $ 12bn deal was split into three bonds of five , 10 and 30 years . The strong sale indicated substantial demand from international markets despite the boycott that was imposed after Qatar was accused of supporting terrorism .
