Loita provides its customers with proven access to the global capital markets, bringing new debt issuers to the market as well as lowering the cost of borrowing for existing issuers.

Regional and local capital markets issues within Africa are an area of specialisation for Loita. The group has been instrumental in structuring and marketing local currency-denominated treasury and corporate bonds, commercial paper, medium term notes and other money market instruments. Loita’s capital market products answer borrowers’ persistent financing needs in the face of commercial banks’ lending conservatism while at the same time provide innovative new instruments for institutional investors.

Loita’s Treasury expertise is the natural complement to its activity in debt issues. Loita can share the treasury management principles it puts into practice in its own banking subsidiaries with other financial institutions across the region. We have found that sound treasury practices are a key to catalyzing efficient and profitable use of funds throughout our markets.
