They attracted US$85 million through a bond issuance, with a three-year maturity period (due in 2023) and a fixed coupon of 3.393% (RON denominated). The bonds received a 3A rating from Moody's and A- rating from Fitch and S&P.

International Investment Bank (IIB) is a multilateral institution that promotes social and economic development, prosperity and economic cooperation between its member states. IIB is focused on medium and long-term financing of projects aimed at supporting the development of the economies of IIB member countries with positive social, environmental and economic impact. The bank provides loans directly, in cooperation with other financial institutions or through partner banks.

Oaklins’ team in Romania acted as private debt advisor and sole lead manager for the bond issuance, targeting Romanian investors and assisting IIB all the way, from the start to the successful completion and listing of the financial instrument on the Euronext Dublin stock exchange. During this process the team initiated and advised on many aspects, including, among others, securing pre-commitments from institutional investors, deal structuring, and the bond pricing and sizing.
