KIEV, June 5 - The Dragon-Ukrainian Properties & Development Plc real estate investment fund, which raised $208 million during an IPO on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) of the London Stock Exchange in late spring, plans in 2008-2009 to enter the promissory capital market and attract up to $600 million.

"Firstly, the $208 million already raised should be invested, and we plan to do this by the end of the year or early next year. In 2008 and 2009, we'll enter the promissory capital market, attracting banking credits and bonds nominated in hryvnias and dollars," Tomas Fiala, a non-executive director of DUPD and director of the Investment Manager Dragon Capital Partners Limited said on Monday.
