New Issue: Barclays prices $1.2 million 0.7% notes linked to Commodity Producers Currency index

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 23 - Barclays Bank plc priced $1.2 million of 0.7% notes due Dec. 24, 2015 linked to the Barclays Capital Commodity Producers Currency Index - 6 VA USD Excess Return, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The payout at maturity will be par plus 190% of any increase in the index. If the index declines, the payout will be par.

The index seeks to capture the returns that are potentially available from a future appreciation of an equally weighted basket of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, less hedging costs and an index fee. The basket includes the Australian dollar, Brazilian real, Canadian dollar, Norwegian krone, Russian ruble and South African rand.

Barclays Capital Inc. is the agent.
