BNP Paribas CIB’s Post

OTP Bank has priced a EUR700 million green bond, which marked its largest MREL issuance to date with the lowest coupon and re-offer spread achieved for MREL funding by the bank.   The transaction was issued under OTP’s #Sustainable Finance Framework, under which it aims to be a regional leader in financing a fair and gradual transition to a low-carbon economy.    An amount equal to the net proceeds from the green bond will be used to #finance and/or refinance a portfolio of eligible loans including those related to green buildings, #renewable energy and clean #transportation projects.   OTP Group is a leading financial institution in Hungary and the Central and Eastern European region, providing financial services for its 17.4 million private and corporate clients in twelve countries.   BNP Paribas acted as Joint Bookrunner on the transaction. This follows the Bank’s lead role on OTP Bank’s previous Senior Preferred issuance in January 2024 and reaffirms its number 1 position in CEE MREL issuance for 2024 YTD.   #BNPP4clients Alexis Taffin de Tilques Borys Matiash Pierre Bonin Laurent BONNET Matt Doherty Alice Wilson Vikas Katyal Anne Besson-Imbert
