    The Green Bond Principles organisation has released a set of principles for sustainability-linked bonds, the product invented and so far only used by Enel, in anticipation of an expected growing market. It has also revised the Social Bond Principles, taking account of lessons learned during the coronavirus crisis. But on transition bonds it has merely produced an unpublished update.
  • Northern Powergrid, the UK energy distribution company, brought the longest sterling deal of the year so far with a 42 year trade on Tuesday, as syndicate bankers say that European investors are keen to see more long duration trades.
  • The sustainability-linked loan market is drawing corporates away from the equivalent in bonds, with more companies looking to create environmental borrowing frameworks that are broad enough to allow them to print many types of debt under one document.
  • KBC Group made use on Tuesday of strong investor appetite for green bonds, launching a callable senior deal with a negative new issue concession.
  • Egypt’s debut green bond, which had been expected to come to market in the first half of the year, is on hold, according to sources. But although the coronavirus pandemic has impacted issuance for issuers such as Egypt, the green bond market is far from dead.
  • Korea Electric Power Corp (Kepco) returned to the green bond market on Monday, raising $500m on the back of a book that was 10 times oversubscribed.
