True
When you need the principal in that currency (and entering swap to gain interest rate advantage)? kinda not sure what is being asked here.
Issue bond in one currency and then swap payments where fixed receipt is in original bond currency and pay alternate

man i am bad at this stuff

Analyze_This

w currency swaps there is always an exchange of NPs at the start and at the end
dual currency bond is when you get better interest in your home country, but want to make the payments in a foreign currency
i think you'd want to do this if you wanted to finance a project abroad

you exchange NPs at the start, then make the payments in FC, and when you swap NPs at the end, you get back the principal which you use to make the final payment on the bond
