Kuntarahoitus has applied for the bond to be listed on the Nasdaq Helsinki Oy exchange, with trading expected to begin on the day following the issue date. DNB Bank ASA is the lead manager for this issuance.
As one of Finland’s largest credit institutions, Kuntarahoitus is owned by Finnish municipalities, the public pension fund Keva, and the Finnish state. The group’s balance sheet exceeds 53 billion euros. Kuntarahoitus services Finnish municipalities and joint municipal authorities, welfare regions, welfare consortia, entities under their control, and state-subsidized housing production.
The company’s clients finance environmentally sustainable and socially responsible projects such as public transportation, sustainable construction, hospitals, health centers, daycares, schools, and housing for special groups. Although Kuntarahoitus primarily serves domestic clients, it operates within a global context and is an active issuer of bonds on the international capital markets.
