The City of Lugano announces the issuance of a digital bond with a value of CHF 100 million, a maturity of 10 years, and a final interest rate of 0.95%. The bond will be listed on SIX Swiss Exchange.

The issuance enables the financing of the City’s upcoming commitments included in its investment plan at an interest rate lower than that assumed in the 2026–2033 Financial Plan.

The choice of a 10-year maturity reflects the City’s intention to maintain flexibility in the management of its debt portfolio, in line with the asset disposal strategy exceeding CHF 300 million announced by the City Council.

The diversification of maturities across the various bond issues makes it possible to progressively manage debt reduction and to dynamically adapt future refinancing operations to the City’s needs and to opportunities offered by the market.

The bond attracted particularly strong demand, further confirming the credibility of the 2026–2033 Financial Plan and the confidence that the City enjoys in the financial markets.

The proceeds will be used to support the investment plan and the City’s general financing needs, contributing to financial stability and the continuity of public services.

The City thanks the financial partners who contributed to the success of this transaction, in particular the teams of ZKB, Vontobel and BLKB.
