Denmark’s Jyske Bank sold its first subordinated debt transaction in 10 years yesterday (Thursday), a SEK1bn (€108m, DKK801m) 10NC5 Tier 2 issue, opting for the Swedish krona market because of the flexibility it offers, according to the group’s head of debt IR and capital markets funding.

Pohjola Bank turned to the Swedish krona market to raise Tier 2 debt on Tuesday after having retreated from a planned euro issue in June, and in doing so sold a Skr3.5bn FRN that is the largest single-tranche Tier 2 in the Swedish market and which market participants said offered savings for the Finnish issuer.

Nykredit Realkredit drew Skr50bn of orders when it sold Skr10.3bn (Eu1.18bn, Dkr8.81bn) of one year SDOs backed by Swedish mortgages in its third such sale last Thursday (August 29). Meanwhile DLR Kredit rounded off the latest Danish auction season today (Thursday).
