  • Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG) has become the second bank to issue a Covid-19 bond in the euro market following the example set by BBVA in May.
  • The European Stability Mechanism has decided to proceed with its plans of issuing social bonds to fund its pandemic crisis support package with a framework being developed tied to the International Capital Market Association’s Social Bond Principles.
  • About $570m will be flowing into EM corporate green bonds in the next few months, after HSBC Global Asset Management and the International Finance Corp reached a third close on the fund they have set up to invest in them.
