The Ministry of Public Finance continues the Fidelis program for government bonds in RON and EUR addressed to the retail investors on Bucharest Stock Exchange

The Ministry of Public Finance (MFP) returns to the capital market with three new issues of government bonds for the retail investors, following the success of the public sale offer (IPO) conducted in August. The new IPO in the Fidelis program will take place on the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB) between November 9th and 27th, when investors can subscribe government bonds in RON with a maturity of 1 and 3 years, and in EUR, with a maturity of 5 years.

“We promised the Romanians that we will try to come periodically with safe saving instruments for the population, liquid governmental instruments. I believe that these moments of crisis in health and the economy are an opportunity to show cohesion and a chance for the population to make safe and good investments, which will not be eroded in the coming years. The success registered in summer was a first proof that we did the right thing”, stated the Minister of Public Finance, Florin Citu.

“We are delighted that the Ministry of Public Finance has returned to the capital market with new government bond issues, after the success of the previous offer, in August, when the Ministry attracted a total of over 2 billion lei. Through this return, the Ministry of Public Finance strengthens the institution’s commitment to be a reliable partner for BVB and a friend for the development of the Romanian stock market. At the same time, the new offer proves that the capital market is a reliable mechanism for attracting financing by the State and by companies. We must remember that in the last almost two years we have witnessed the listing of almost 30 bond issues and the listing of 3 companies, and the financing rounds conducted at BVB have exceeded the value of 1.5 billion euros, which proves that there are money in the market and they can be accessed”, stated Radu Hanga, Chairman of the Board, Bucharest Stock Exchange.

The issues target exclusively the natural investors, and the minimum subscription value is RON 5,000 for the RON issues, or EUR 1,000 for the EUR issues.

According to the Romanian legislation in force, the interests and capital gains from the holding and trading of government bonds issued by the Romanian State through the Ministry of Public Finance are non-taxable income.

The Government bonds will be offered in Romania exclusively to resident and non-resident individuals, except for persons who have not reached the age of 18 until the closing date of the offer inclusively. The intermediary syndicate of the offer includes:  BTCP (Lead Manager) & Banca Transilvania, BCR, BRD. Also, subscriptions can be made through Eligible Participants, which represent any intermediary (other than BTCP, BCR and BRD) authorized by the Financial Supervision Authority (ASF), which is financial investment company or credit institution accepted as a participant in the trading system of the Bucharest Stock Exchange that signed the commitment regarding the observance of the conditions of the offer and the provisions of the issue prospectus and sent the commitment to the Lead Manager.
