    There was an ESG flavour to the majority of non-sovereign euro public sector trades this week, with a number of issuers setting new records with labelled deals.
  • Rating: Aa2/—/AA-
  • Banks are optimistic that sustainability-linked bonds have a bright future as part of their funding toolkits, after Berlin Hyp became the first financial institution to land a deal in the format this week. More trades are already on the way and market participants are stepping up their efforts to break down the remaining barriers for FIG borrowers.
  • Pfleiderer and its owner, Strategic Value Partners, have minor changes during syndication to the deal docs in its dual-tranche sustainability-linked high yield bond, limiting the group’s flexibility to pay out sale proceeds from its Polish division as a dividend. But the company has succeeded in pushing pricing tight, with the fixed rate bonds set to land at 4.75% area and the floater at 475bp.
  • South Korea's Shinhan Bank became the latest Asian bank to sell a sustainability bond this month. It raised $500m from its transaction, but felt some pressure from the risk-off sentiment in the region’s credit market.
  • GlobalCapital is conducting its annual poll to determine its Bond Awards 2021. The voting deadline has been extended until April 22, so we invite readers who have not voted yet to do so in the coming week.
