Partner Loredana Chitu, Head of Dentons’ Capital Markets team in Bucharest, led the transaction, assisted by Capital Markets associates Alin Roca and Bogdan Galatanu.

Loredana Chitu commented: “Following our involvement in previous municipal bond issuances, we are pleased to have contributed to the completion of this successful new private placement. It is a pleasure to work with the talented and dedicated teams of these banks, and also with an issuer whose frequent presence on the capital market is welcomed."
