Scandinavian borrowers add weight to primary momentum

Scandinavian borrowers joined their French and German colleagues to take advantage of a market highly receptive to high quality issuance this week. SpareBank 1 Boligkredit tapped the dollar sector on Tuesday (see separate story) and Nordea Bank Finland priced a well oversubscribed three year euro trade on Thursday. Finnish peer Aktia Real Estate Mortgage Bank, meanwhile, mandated banks the same day for a series of investor meetings beginning in early June.
