Details

Fitch recently published research showing that more than 30% of the issuance of SSA50 now consists. It has been growing considerably since 2020. With mandates focused on climate transition and social development, it’s expected that it will grow further. During this panel we will explore the implications of debt issuance by the largest SSAs on their credit and rating profiles and what is the outlook for their increasing role in the ESG bonds space.

Some of the points our presentation will address:
• Issuance trends: recent patterns and prospects
• Impact on SSA credit profiles and ratings
• Are labelled bonds a no brainer in E and S?
• Policy mandates support further labelled bonds issuance
• Relevance of growing ESG strategy/issuance for SSA ratings
• Toward greater E and S impact: what to expect? Would KPI linked instruments be fit for purpose?
• Impact of E and S taxonomies on SSA’s focus and strategy
