SAXINGER advised Raiffeisen-Landesbank Steiermark AG on the acquisition of shares in CMTA AG.

Raiffeisen-Landesbank Steiermark AG participated in CMTA AG, a leading fixed-income technology company based in Graz, through a capital increase.

CMTA AG is a licensed Class 2 securities firm specializing in fixed-income securities and loan transactions. Through innovative technological and process-driven approaches, it sustainably enhances the scope and quality of services in this market, with a focus on increasing liquidity in this segment and gaining market share through its data-analytic approach.

The newly established strategic partnership combines CMTA AG’s technological innovation with the financial strength of Raiffeisen-Landesbank Steiermark AG. Its goal is to play a decisive role in shaping the European bond markets and to create a liquid, transparent, and efficient market environment for its growing regional and international network of professional investors and issuers. The significance of the partnership lies not only in expanding technological capabilities but also in merging and extending the respective established networks. Together, synergies are to be realized and further growth opportunities implemented.

The integration of these networks also generates positive impacts at the regional level, as CMTA AG enables smaller and medium-sized issuers—such as corporates, cities, or local authorities—to attract the attention of professional investors. This promotes better capital market access for the mid-sized business sector and public institutions, which is highly significant for the economic development of Styria and beyond.
