"The ongoing low interest rate environment has increased the average maturity of our loan book in recent years. We take this aspect into account in our refinancing strategy and have therefore opted for a twelve-year term for the first time with this bond," says Maria Teresa Dreo, member of the Board of Management of Berlin Hyp since May 1 and responsible for capital market business. "We are pleased with the high-quality order book and the strong and diversified investor demand from both Germany and abroad."
