As reported by the Australian: “James Packer’s Publishing and Broadcasting and its Hong Kong partner, Melco, have hired a four-bank syndicate led by ANZ to raise money for their $1.5 billion City of Dreams casino project in Macau.
“The island’s casino magnate, Stanley Ho, has got the go-head to launch a $2.5 billion listing of his Macau casino company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

“Hong Kong sources say the fundraising could include a mixture of bonds and loans…”
