26 January 2006

Landwirtschaftliche Rentenbank, Germany's agency for agriculture and rural areas, today announced its issuing plans in the Australian Dollar domestic market for 2006. Rentenbank aims to raise up to A$ 2bn for its medium- and long-term funding via its A$ MTN Programme, unchanged from 2005. Issuance is likely to include increases of outstanding transactions as well as new issues to further complete Rentenbank's yield curve.

Rentenbank's outstanding A$ MTN issues have an aggregate volume of A$ 4.05bn. The German agency is rated Aaa/AAA/AAA by Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings, respectively. The outlook on all ratings is stable.
