Annual issuance of sovereign sustainable bonds
Sovereign sustainable bond issuance grew steadily in the late 2010’s after Poland issued the inaugural sovereign sustainable bond in 2016, with the market spiking in 2021, amidst a surge in pandemic related funding. Sovereigns saw record issuance again in 2023 and then in 2024, helping to buoy the wider sustainable bond market after a slowdown in 2022. This year has already seen strong issuance coming from sovereigns with the YTD total already standing at over 10% of 2024's all-time-highs.
