Ministry of Finance Seeking Consultants for Corporate Bond Issuance – Call for Expression of Interest Opened

The Ministry of Finance has opened the public call for the expression of an interest for consultants for the preparation and execution of the issuing of corporate bonds.

The public call is opened within the Catalyzing Long Term Finance Through Capital Market Project (CMDP).

For that project, the World Bank approved a USD 30 million loan to support Serbia a year ago.

Upon approving the loan, Nicola Pontara, World Bank Country Manager for Serbia pointed out that the loan would assist the Government of Serbia to implement its Capital Market Development Strategy by strengthening relevant capital market institutions and encouraging corporates to issue bonds, including green and thematic bonds.

Well-functioning capital markets help diversify financing sources beyond bank financing, which indirectly bolsters economic resilience during credit cycle fluctuations.

In addition, the World Bank added, corporate bonds could become an attractive alternative source of long-term financing to support Serbia’s green transition objectives.

The deadline for the expression of an interest is April 2, and other details of the call can be found HERE.
