On September 10, 2018, Brookfield Infrastructure Finance ULC issued C$500 million of medium-term notes maturing September 11, 2028 with a coupon of 4.2%. The proceeds were swapped into U.S. dollars on a matched maturity basis at an all-in rate of 4.7%.
Brookfield Infrastructure has entered into a $500 million revolving credit facility with Brookfield to provide additional liquidity for general corporate purposes and capital expenditures, if required. The revolving credit facility automatically renews for four consecutive one-year terms, which would result in the facility ultimately maturing on February 8, 2023. Brookfield has the option to terminate the agreement prior to February 8 each year by providing Brookfield Infrastructure with written notice. Loans under this facility accrued interest on LIBOR plus 2.0% and no commitment fees were incurred for any undrawn balance. As of June 30, 2019, there were $nil (2018: $nil) borrowings outstanding.
The decrease in corporate borrowings of $447 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 is due to repayment of the corporate revolving credit facility, partially offset by a 4% appreciation of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar.

Non-recourse borrowings have increased by $1.1 billion since year-end. The increase is attributable to additional net borrowings of $0.9 billion primarily associated with our recent acquisitions and an increase in foreign denominated debt as most currencies underlying non-recourse borrowings appreciated relative to the U.S. dollar during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019.
