Investing without Borders: accessing emerging market green and sustainability bonds

21 APR 2021

Join Environmental Finance and IFC for a discussion on accessing emerging market green and sustainability bonds.

Investor appetite for green bonds continues to grow, and emerging market issuers stand to benefit from increasing demand. Developing countries and emerging markets will play an integral part in the transition to a low-carbon future. Fixed-income investors can influence this transition with demand for green investments and a widespread rejection of brown investments.

With yields on debt commonly more attractive for investors in emerging markets, what are the opportunities for green bonds in emerging markets?

Topics that will be discussed during the webinar include:

  • What do investors think of emerging market green bonds?
  • How can emerging market green bonds deliver yield?
  • What are the strategies for investors when managing currency risk?
  • A review of green bond issuance in emerging markets and results from the next IFC-Amundi report - which regions and sectors have strong fundamentals for potential green bond issuance and what do investors need to know about these frontier regions?
