Covered bonds: LBB looks outside Pfandbrieffor issuance

Structured covered bond may be repeated by other German issuers.

Although the bank says that it originated the structure on its own, a fortuitous consequence is that it could be used by numerous other institutions in Germany: namely, smaller savings banks.
