  • TrailStone Group, the gas and power trader and investor based in London, has closed the year with a €150m revolving credit facility, which complies with the Green Loan Principles.
  • Andrew Bailey is seen as a ‘safe pair of hands’ as the new governor of the Bank of England. But while he is a veteran of the bank, his views on monetary policy are not well known, as he has never served on the Monetary Policy Committee. In that respect, though a career central banker, he resembles Christine Lagarde, who has taken the helm at the European Central Bank.
  • Suriname’s outstanding 2026s traded up this week, after the government clinched $125m of short-term financing that includes coupon payment support for existing bonds and lays the ground for fiscal savings via an electricity reform.
  • Greencoat Capital, the investment manager of London listed funds Greencoat UK Wind and Greencoat Renewables plc, is eying a strong pipeline of acquisitions in the UK wind power market. However, green-hungry equity investors may have to wait a while before seeing further capital raises from the firm, its chief executive, Stephen Lilley, told GlobalCapital.
  • Environmental protection services provider Shenzhen Leoking Environmental Group has set the ball rolling for a Hong Kong listing, having filed draft documents with the bourse.
  • Despite its only previous outstanding bond trading at distressed levels and its president being sentenced to 20 years in jail for murder during the sale process, Suriname has managed to issue $125m of new amortising bonds that analysts say should be crucial for a proposed electricity reform.
