Green Bond Market Trends: Bigger, Broader and More Impactful

The European green bond market goes from strength to strength as investors accelerate the flow of capital towards the EU’s environmental goals. Global issuance of green bonds reached nearly €250bn in 2019, up from about €50bn in 2015. The rapid growth underlines the need for clear guidelines and ongoing monitoring to avoid the risk of green washing and provide transparency and standards in this critical phase of a maturing market.

Bloomberg, iShares and MSCI invite you to join a panel of experts as we explore green bond market trends, flows and performance as well as the impact the market is having on Europe’s greening recovery.

Discussion topics:
  • EU green bond market overview: Capital flows, sector, region
  • Index construction: Methodology and ESG data integration
  • How to trade fixed income / green bond ETFs and index funds
  • Portfolio construction: What role do green bonds play in a broader fixed income allocation
