Overview
The key advantages of such issues are:
- a triple-A credit curve gives corporations wishing to access the market an alternative pricing benchmark to the government curve
- innovative techniques used by the Bank help to foster the overall development of the market
- providing a triple-A conduit allows new investors to gain exposure to the local market, allowing the dissociation of credit and currency allocation risks. This is often a precursor to these investors participating in the local government and corporate/bank debt market
- for domestic investors, an issue by the EBRD provides an opportunity for credit diversification in their portfolios
