NordLB Lux and Goldman set to expand dual recourse universe

NordLB will start engaging with investors from mid-February regarding plans to sell its Lettre de Gage Publique. The issuer may also update investors about its merger plans, which could ultimately result in a wider pool of assets being financed under the Luxembourg covered bond law. Around the same time Goldman Sachs is likely to be reconsidering how to approach the market with its FIGSCO deal. The two issuers’ very different approaches show there is still great scope for innovation in dual recourse instruments.
