KommuneKredit issues new benchmark in EUR

On 22 August 2018 KommuneKredit launched a new benchmark issue – a EUR 500 million 5-year issue.

The issue was successful with strong investor interest and a few hours after launch orders totalled more than EUR 1 billion. The strong demand from investors created room for a price adjustment to the final pricing at mid-swaps minus 12 bps. More than 45 investors participated.

The bond issue is KommuneKredit’s first outing in the market, following the downgrade by S&P in July 2018. The very strong interest from the broad range of high quality investors underlines that KommuneKredit is still considered a safe and stable investment.

Joint Lead Managers were: BNP Paribas, LBBW and Societe Generale

KommuneKredit

KommuneKredit is a Danish special-purpose credit institution, providing funding for the local growth and green transition in municipalities and regions across Denmark.

KommuneKredit is an association with sustainability at its core and a strong ESG profile. Our member base consists of all Danish municipal and regional authorities. Our guarantee structure and safe business model have secured us a premium credit rating (AAA) (Aaa).

That is why we can offer municipalities and regions instant and uncomplicated access to financing of projects large or small and at the lowest possible cost. With equal opportunities and terms for all – across the entire country.

That is how it has been since 1899, when KommuneKredit first disbursed a loan. And that is the way it is today, as our dedicated employees advise on and arrange more than 2,000 loans every year.

When investors buy our bonds, we can disburse loans for purposes ranging from energy renovation of a local sports centre to the purchase of a new eco-friendly hybrid ferry, or the establishment of more sustainable district heating systems across the country.

For the benefit of ordinary citizens, for our local communities, and for an even greener future.
