BLS

In order to finance approved capital expenditures related to the regional passenger transport, BLS AG successfully placed two long-term debut bonds worth CHF 100 million each on the Swiss capital market in the fourth quarter 2018. IFBC supported the company as a financial advisor during the entire financing process from the development of the financing concept to the subsequent implementation via the two debt capital market financings. Through an integrated public transport network on rails, roads and water, BLS connects the greater Bern area with six other cantons. Today, BLS is Switzerland's strongest independent private railway.
