International green bond market set to strengthen

Monday, September 9, 2019

Subject

Green bonds.

Significance

The worldwide green bond market is on track for a strong 2019 on the back of improved market conditions and a disappointing performance last year. Sales of green bonds in August surpassed 150 billion dollars for the first time ever.

Impacts

  • Green bonds will help countries meet climate targets by making economies and financial systems more environmentally friendly.
  • The green bond market will benefit from increasing support from trade groups and stock exchanges.
  • Many green bond issues have been oversubscribed, suggesting investor demand may outstrip supply in the coming years.
