SEB’s Green Bond Report Explores Scaling Up Energy Transition Investments for a Just and Speedy Net-Zero Emission Goal

SEB’s latest issue of The Green Bond report delves into the challenge of scaling energy transition investments for achieving net-zero emissions while promoting social inclusivity. It highlights the potential of green industrial policies to revitalize energy transition investments and sustainable debt markets amidst rising populism and geopolitical competition for clean technologies. The report also provides insights into the sustainable finance market, noting modest growth in use-of-proceeds bonds during the first quarter of 2024. However, sustainability-linked bond issuances experienced a decline compared to the previous year. Despite this, the report indicates that sustainable bonds continue to attract investor interest, with cover ratios remaining above the market average. It emphasizes the need for a second push in the sustainable debt market, potentially through new regulations that mitigate risks for both borrowers and lenders, thereby further driving the energy transition.
