Kommuninvest has been a restricted monetary policy counterparty since September 2009 and has thereby been able to participate in the Central Bank's auctions. As a RIX participant with effect from 18 March, Kommuninvest will also have access to the Central Bank's intraday and overnight credit facilities.
"For us, this means yet another tool in our liquidity management, and it will positively affect our borrowing costs with regard to both short and long maturities. A direct credit line to the Central Bank, together with the possibility as a RIX participant to be able to take part in all of the Central Bank's monetary policy operations, makes us more unique as an issuer in the world's capital markets."
Anders Gånge, Head of Funding and Treasury
