We signed the preliminary agreement to dispose of our Serbian office portfolio , securing however our future growth in Belgrade with the acquisition of a land plot designated for a large scale phased office project and even starting a new office project GTC X. Additionally , we invested heavily into Budapest based class - A office properties to shift towards higher - rated markets . We also focused on operations on our malls , which after the last lockdown , are delivering tremendous results , with malls ' turnover being well above 2019 statistics , especially in Poland . Also during this period , as the first real estate developer in the CEE region , we released the ESG report , a culmination of 25 - years of GTC development based on quality offering , long - term relationships , and the transparency of our operations . It was a natural next step for our company as we consistently apply the corporate strategy based on providing real estate solutions that improve the way we live and creating a business platform that stands on trust and cooperation with stakeholders . The second half of the year will be similarly busy , as we are preparing ourselves for a capital increase and further investments " - commented Yovav Carmi , GTC's President of the Management Board . " The first half of the year was marked with the change in our financing structure and move from individual secured bank loans for particular projects to predominantly unsecured bond funding . First of all , we went through the rating process and achieved a Ba1 rating with Moody's Investors Services and investment grade rating BBB- with Fitch . Later , we tapped the Eurobonds market for more flexible instruments , and succeeded issuing € 500m green Eurobond with a coupon of 2.25 % . The book was 2.8x oversubscribed with peak orders in excess of € 1.4bn . This gives us great confidence and validates our change in strategy , business model and sustainable and responsible approach to our properties . I believe that we will be able to come back to the market later this year to complete our goal and refinance the majority of the remaining secured debt " - commented Ariel Ferstman , GTC's CFO and Member of the Management Board .
