The debut of the English green bond it is a record, with investors literally jumping on the most anticipated bond sale of the year. England has placed 10 billion pounds from the bond maturing in 2033, a result never achieved by a sale of green bonds. Orders worth over £ 100 billion were attracted, another first for both British government bonds and the green market, beating the result of the Italian debut earlier this year. The data emerge from the analysis released by Bloomberg.
The growth of the ESG
L’ESG continues to climb the heights in the financial industry. The exploit of British green bonds it fits into a very clear and well defined macro context. In fact, green bonds are witnessing a global boom that has brought sales over one trillion dollars this year. A trend that obviously is also and above all concerning Europe, which has always been a pioneer in the field of ethical investments.
The European boom
In Old WorldGreen bonds are worth as much as a quarter of total assets this year. They have in fact passed the 333 billion euros in the current year, that is 25.2% of the total sales recorded on the primary market in Europe. This is the highest peak ever reached before, already 14% higher than the total sales of ESG bonds concluded in the whole of 2020.
The London Late
Returning across the Channel, the UK in the course of this fiscal year it aims to sell at least 15 billion of green bonds. But even with this result, London will be among the laggards in the ethical bond market. In fact, most Western countries have already exceeded this sum. Including France, Germany and Ireland. However, the situation is effervescent and is attractive to investors at all latitudes.
