SYDNEY, Jan 13 (Reuters) - Australia & New Zealand Banking
Group (ANZ.AX) has added A$150 million ($103 million) to its
three-year government-backed floating rate note issue sold last
week, ANZ said on Tuesday.

The increase offered the same terms as the initial offer
and brings the new issue total to A$3.4 billion.

It now consists of A$800 million of three-year and A$2.6
billion in five-year notes.

Australian banks are rushing to raise funds worldwide under
a new government guarantee to help them shore up their balance
sheets amid the global financial turmoil.

Australia's move follows similar guarantees introduced in
other countries.

Over US$26 billion in government-guaranteed bonds has been
raised by Australian banks since Dec. 10.
