VILNIUS. DnB NORD Bankas ranked as Lithuania‘s best debt house on 7 February will start the placement of its securities linked to the pair of major global currencies – euro and US dollar. The litas nominated short term notes provide for a likely yield that is twice higher than that of time deposits.

„As long as the trend is sustainable the note holders will earn a 10.5 percent yield. Should the dollar/euro exchange rate falls beyond the 1.17-1.38 corridor; DnB NORD Bankas will repay the total invested amount at the maturity, “said Mindaugas Tutlys, the head of Capital markets at DnB NORD Bankas.
On Wednesday the euro traded at 1.30 against the dollar.
