Bank of added value

In the first issuance week of January, BNG took advantage of constructive USD-market conditions to successfully issue a new USD 2 billion 10-year benchmark. The transaction gained strong momentum from the outset, generating Indications of Interest (“IOIs”) in excess of USD 3.1bn. The orderbook continued to build steadily throughout the process, reaching a final book size of USD 7.9bn excluding Joint Lead Manager interest.

The Hague, 5 January 2025 – BNG has appointed Norbert Siegers as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO). In line with the ongoing organisational restructuring, he will begin on 5 January 2026 as COO designate, preparing the transition to the newly defined COO domain. He will formally assume the COO role on 7 May 2026, following approval of the appointment by the supervisory authority.

The jury has nominated four authors for the BNG Literature Prize 2025, which will be awarded in February 2026.

In the Dutch social housing sector, making homes more sustainable is essential for creating future-proof residential areas and neighbourhoods. BNG wants to use green loans to provide a financial incentive to accelerate sustainability together with its clients. The pilot launched with housing associations Alwel, De Alliantie and Ymere is promising. BNG is ready to further expand this new form of financing.
