Samenvatting

  1. The green bond market has grown into a liquid and diversified market
  2. Green bonds are intended to exclusively finance projects that have a positive environmental impact
  3. Increased issuance means that it is now possible to build a sizable portfolio in this market

As a result, these bonds use their proceeds differently, and have unique certification and reporting standards. They also have a distinct investor approach, which can lead to differences in pricing. Roughly half of EUR-denominated green debt is issued by Eurozone governments and government-related institutions such as supranationals, sovereigns and agencies (SSA). In this article, we examine the premium of green bonds for these two groups.
