Israeli generics giant Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (NYSE: TEVA) has attracted more than 30 billion euros ($33.04) of orders for a four billion-euro bond sale in Europe.

Teva is holding the sale to raise money for its $40.5 billion acquisition of the generics arm of Ireland-incorporated Allergan (NYSE: AGN), and earlier this week it sold $15 billion in bonds in the USA.

In taking its sale across the Atlantic, Teva met huge demand in a market which, according to the Financial Times, has been crying out for new bonds due to a short supply since the UK voted to leave the European Union last month.
