OREANDA-NEWS. Atomstroyexport presented its first bond loan. The organizer of the loan is the Russian Funds investment group, one of the leaders of the financial market of Russia. Attending the presentation were the managers of Atomstroyexport and Russian Funds, representatives of partner-organizations, investors, journalists.

The ASE managers told the guests about the company’s plans for building NPPs abroad and in Russia, ASE’s prospects in the system of the future Atomenergoprom, the company’s financial performance and about the bond loan.

ASE’s decision to place a 1,5bln RUR bond loan on the stock exchange through an auction has shown that it is an open and transparent company based on a modern management system. After placement the bonds will be freely circulated on the stock exchange for four years. The company will use the loan for financing its projects abroad.

Today, despite its dynamic development, Russia’s nuclear power industry has no financial instruments that could appropriately meet its growing needs. 

Atomstroyexport is the first Russian nuclear power company that has applied public financial instruments for supporting its activities.

“This modern instrument is the “first robin” in our nuclear power industry. Many investors have already shown high interest in our proposal,” the president of ASE said.

The high interest of investors proves that ASE has a positive and stable image. Since 2005 the company has been actively introducing modern management elements and has substantially improved its financial performance. In the last two years ASE has managed to significantly strengthen its position on the world NPP construction market.

The member of the board of Russian Funds Konstantin Beirit said: “Today, we are witnessing a strategic reevaluation of the nuclear power industry. The introduction of new financial instruments is drastically changing the situation in the sector - it is becoming much more transparent.”

Atomstroyexport is consistently improving its management system for ensuring the success of its NPP construction projects abroad. ASE’s first bond loan is the best proof of that.
