Funding & Private Placements - Overview
WestLB as an International Issuer
As an issuer WestLB AG offers a wide range of debt capital market products (including benchmark issues, promissory notes and flating rate notes) to institutional investors. We are one of the largest permanent borrowers in Euroland.
A Broad Range of Products
Due to the large size of its funding, WestLB is an active borrower in all of the principal debt markets and products:
- Liquid benchmark issues
- Tailor made issues (senior or subordinated)
- Structured Notes (reverse convertibles, currency linked issues etc.)
Debt Issuance Programme
During the last few years WestLB has managed to extend the proportion of its international funding via a broad range of products, currencies, maturities and volumes.
Eurobonds are issued under our Debt Issuance Programme by WestLB AG and two funding vehicles - WestLB Finance Netherlands B.V. and WestLB Finance Curaco N.V - which are both fully guaranteed by WestLB.
Please find attached below the WestLB Debt Issuance Programme documentation.
