Issuance of NLB Green Bonds

“The offering of notes was well oversubscribed, supported by a number of domestic, regional and international high-quality investors,” commented NLB’s CEO Blaž Brodnjak, emphasizing that issuing green notes is in line with the business strategy of NLB and the NLB Group in our home region of South-eastern Europe. “On the one hand this transaction reflects strong credit and performance of NLB Group, as well as demonstrates that NLB has wide access to capital markets, and on the other hand it is a measure of confirming our approach to sustainability. In the NLB Group we namely firmly support the transition to a low-carbon sustainable economy that will use resources more efficiently. We are committed to making a positive contribution to this both through our own operations and our business, thereby creating better footprints,” he explained further. 

NLB’s CFO Archibald Kremser also drew attention to the ever-higher recognition of the bank amongst professional stakeholders. “The accomplishments of the best-in-class product structuring efforts in combination with substantial performance in pre-marketing have led to significant improvements in name recognition of NLB in the international financial markets. We are pleased with this trust - an achievement attributable to the professional team,” he pointed out.
