KommuneKredit issues its first benchmark in DKK

On 31 October 2018 KommuneKredit launched a DKK benchmark. The bond issue was DKK 3 bn. with 5 year maturity. Nordea Bank and Danske Bank were joint lead managers on the issue.

Right from the beginning there was a high interest in bidding for the issue. The initial price was the 5 year Danish Government plus 25 bps. After a short bookbuilding orders came in from different investors exceeding more than DKK 9,8 bn. The strong demand created room for a price adjustments to a final premium at 23 bps to the Danish Government.

The strong investor participation and the high quality of the order book underlines KommuneKredit’s presence in the DKK benchmark market.
