At the Covered Bond Congress 2026 in Seville, SaarLB was honoured with the ‘Best Sub-Benchmark Deal’ award as part of the Global Capital Covered Bond Awards for its 3.5 per cent Public Pfandbrief maturing in May 2036.
The award is based on the votes of active participants in the international covered bond market and recognises the successful placement of the issue.
“Even the nomination was a great honour for us. We are proud that our issue has now been recognised by market participants with this award,” explains SaarLB.
Special thanks go to the lead managers DekaBank, DZ BANK, Erste Group and NORD/LB, who successfully managed the transaction.
Kay Weissfloch and Jörg Backes accepted the award on behalf of SaarLB in Seville.
The Covered Bond Congress is one of the most important industry gatherings in the international covered bond market. Every year, issuers, investors and other market participants come together there to discuss current developments and exchange views on market trends and prospects.
