Good evening
Bank Announcement: World Bank issues first English Law DNN
The first Digitally Native Note (DNN) has been issued under English Law via Euroclear’s Digital Financial Market Infrastructure (D-FMI). This marks the launch of Euroclear’s digital ledger technology (DLT)-powered Digital Securities Issuance (D-SI) service.
The €100 million DNN was issued by the World Bank — International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) to support its sustainable development activities and was listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Citi Issuer Services served as issuing and paying agent, TD Securities as dealer, and Euroclear Bank as issuer central securities depository. Corda, R3’s DLT platform, underpinned the issuance.
Euroclear’s D-FMI is connected to the firm’s traditional settlement platform for secondary market operations on the DNN, allowing investors to access trading venues and liquidity management facilities. It enables the creation and settlement of DNNs on a T+0 basis, which Citi says is a step towards a fully digital end-to-end transaction lifecycle for bonds.

There are many opportunities that are beginning to make themselves known in this new digital age we are living in.
Digital creative opportunities are offering people opportunities they would not have had apart from this new current movement that is taking place known to many as the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Jobs are now being created for those willing to work in AI fields and more. It is true that many of our traditional jobs have been taken away because of AI, but new technological forces are coming into play that are opening up opportunities based on a person’s experience more so than educational degrees a person holds.
This is not to say that degrees are no longer valid. It’s just that the new digital economy is leveling the playing field in opportunities going forward for those capable of making the transition into the new digital age.
We are rapidly becoming pioneers inside a new creative lifestyle that will bring forth what is highest in us to forge new paths never seen before.
