2019 was a turning point for the capital markets where Walkers
noted a wide variety of transactions embracing the "green
factor". With 2019 green bond issuance estimated at excess
US$225billion, and market sources projecting soaring demand for
corporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment, we
anticipate growth across green finance transactions in 2020, with
some exciting and novel features expected.
Alongside the increased investor demand for green bonds,
we've seen the development and promotion of green market
segments on many international stock exchanges including Euronext
Dublin, the Cayman Islands Stock Exchange (CSX), The International
Stock Exchange (TISE) and Vienna MTF, for whom Walkers acts as a
recognised listing agent. This advisory aims to provide clients
with a flavour of our listing expertise alongside the options
available when choosing to list Green Bonds.
