Rabobank in business

Both as a financial institution and as a frequent borrower, AAA rated Rabobank is a leading global borrower in the international financial markets. Through a careful and consistent market approach Rabobank has been able to complete a number of succesful funding programmes over the years, benefitting both issuer and investors alike. Rabobank annually raises over EUR 20 billion from the capital markets in short and long term funding, and bank capital. Rabobank achieves this via a low-risk yet proactive funding policy: we take a diversified global approach to funding and we use a flexible range of funding tools, such as public bonds, MTN's, private placements, CD and CP.

Rabobank is able to issue CD, CP, senior and subordinated debt instruments to both institutional and retail investors. Most senior debt issues are succesfully executed under the EUR 110 billion Rabobank Nederland GMTN Programme. With the public issues under this programme, benchmark funding curves have been both built and reinforced, and the development of markets in 'new currencies' has been a notable success. In addition to this, Rabobank continues to spearhead the developments in the structured MTN market, as it has for the last number of years.
