The demand for the bonds considerably exceeded the offer, and thus applications of most investors were satisfied partly. The bonds were purchased by 36 customers of the bank. Investments in bonds allow customers to receive higher return than that under deposits and also ensure wider purchase and sale transaction opportunities.

"Having performed this bond issue, we completed the bank’s Second Bond Offer Programme. The programme size was LVL 150 million, and it was implemented in full. In total over the last year and a half we have already performed 12 public issues. We plan to approve another bond issue programme soon, under which we will perform public offering of bond issues amounting up to LVL 200 million," said Ernests Bernis, ABLV Bank Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
