Commenting on BNP Paribas Fortis’ decision to join the Label, Luca Bertalot, Covered Bond Label Foundation Administrator, said:

The fact that the Covered Bond Label continues to gain ground in new countries, such as Belgium, shows that issuers and investors around the world see the added value of the improved due diligence and transparency that the Label can provide.”
