Issues such as lack of liquidity for the European market and others meant that the European Bank would have difficulties in putting together a reasonable pricing strategy.
The market was also complicated at the time of the issuing. The ECU Eurobond market was in a process of being reshaped, and it had significant integration difficulties, with different volatile markets affecting the overall perspective of things and making marketing entirely more difficult in this environment.
