Filip & Company assisted the Ministry of Public Finance, together with Linklaters law firm, in the first green bond issue that attracted EUR2 billion from international markets.
The issue has a 12-year maturity and its arrangers are Citigroup Global Markets Europe AG, Erste Group, HSBC, J.P. Morgan and Société Générale.
“This first green bond issue on the external market was a success. Through this issue, Romania is strengthening its position in the global fight against climate change and supporting projects with a positive impact on the environment. Green bonds are not only a financial initiative but also a firm commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. We are glad to be involved in innovative projects that contribute to reducing carbon footprint, protecting biodiversity, and increasing renewable resources. It is a pleasure to be involved in such large-scale projects with the Ministry of Public Finance”, said Monica Stătescu partner at Filip & Company.
