Details
The global sustainable bond market looks set to hit a landmark USD 1 trillion total in issuance by the end of the year. In the MENA region, issuance of sustainable bonds topped USD 8 billion this year, an increase of over 30% on the 2020 total.
As climate change and social issues have risen to the top of the political agenda and with ever increasing demand from investors for sustainability themed bonds, there is tremendous potential for this market to fund projects devoted to the energy transition in the MENA region.
Join this ICMA event to hear international and regional experts discuss how global sustainable bond markets have developed over the last 12 months of record issuance; the latest innovations including sustainability-linked bonds; the evolving international regulatory environment and the opportunities for this form of finance in the region.
A networking reception follows the conference.
Please note that this is an in-person event only and there will be no recording following the conference.
