Sub-sections
  • Crédit Agricole landed at an extremely tight level on Wednesday morning as it made its social bond debut with a seven year senior non-preferred deal, following in the footsteps of last week's near zero yield print from Svenska Handelsbanken.
  • SSA
    Martine Mills Hagen, the head of funding at the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, has left to join the Opec Fund for International Development.
  • There are a lot of positive things to say about the European Union’s draft Taxonomy of Sustainable Economic Activities, but as far as buildings are concerned, its aims are too ambitious. Without a last minute reprieve, it risks killing the nascent market for green wholesale property finance.

  • CEE
    Top tier Turkish lender VakifBank was in the market on Tuesday for its debut sustainable dollar bond, which market participants say is likely to gain strong demand from a wide investor base.
