Nykredit sold a debut Additional Tier 1 transaction yesterday (Thursday), a Eu500m (Dkr3.72bn) 6.25% perpetual non-call 5.7 deal that an official at the Danish issuer said achieved a satisfactory result for an inaugural transaction.
The Danish Ministry of Business & Growth has established a working group to quickly recommend how negative interest rates should be handled by the country’s mortgage lenders in the wake of a series of cuts by the Danish central bank.
Nykredit sold some Dkr13bn (Eu1.74bn) of one year ARM bonds this week in the first auctions of covered bonds that feature maturity extension triggers in accordance with new legislation, and market participants said the auctions, although small, show demand to be largely unaffected by the changes.
Nykredit Realkredit launched the first Tier 2 CoCo out of Denmark on Friday, a Eu600m (Dkr4.48bn) 22 year non-call seven transaction that was five times oversubscribed.
Nykredit Realkredit sold its tightest syndicated Swedish krona covered bond today (Thursday), a Skr5.5bn (Eu614m, Dkr4.58bn) one year issue, after on Monday kicking off the latest round of auctions for refinancing of ARM bonds.
Realkredit Danmark released its 2013 full year results on Friday, reporting a Dkr158m increase in net profit to Dkr2.612bn (Eu350m), up 6% compared with 2012. It said that this captures a positive trend in core activities as well as higher funding costs and higher impairments.
Nykredit Realkredit priced its second euro senior secured deal of the year on Tuesday, a Eu500m long five year that an official at the issuer said went well, drawing more than Eu800m of demand and performing after pricing.
Nykredit Realkredit is planning a roadshow for a senior secured issue that will be its first euro benchmark where the proceeds are being used for covered bond overcollateralisation purposes rather than, as previously, for reasons of CRD compliance.
DLR Kredit is planning to launch its second senior secured issue later this month, a Dkr2bn (Eu268m) maximum deal, while Nykredit has become the first Danish mortgage bank to take advantage of legislative changes allowing §15 issuance out of RO capital centres.
