Victoriabank — one of the largest banks in the Republic of Moldova and part of the Banca Transilvania Group — is acting as an intermediary for a new municipal bond issue, this time for the city of Leova. This is the sixth local bond issue brokered by Victoriabank; previous issues have enjoyed high investor interest and confidence in the local authorities’ ability to implement development projects.
Through the bond issue launched today, the Leova City Hall will raise 9 million Moldovan lei—approximately 450,000 euros—to fund the project “Urban Rehabilitation and Development of Public Infrastructure in the City’s Central District.”
What does the initiative mean for the community?
