Local currency issuance

Disclaimer: nothing in this site or any materials shall be construed, implicitly or explicitly as containing any investment recommendation or advice, and constituting an offer of, or an invitation by or on behalf of, EBRD to purchase or sell any securities.

The EBRD's local currency issuance assists in the development of domestic capital markets in the Bank's countries of operations.

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
