EMEA Sustainable Bond Issuance
This graph depicts year-on-year sustainable bond issuance in Europe, Middle East and Africa since 2021. 2021 is the peak for the region, with around $530 billion issued across 1370 bonds. 2022 saw a notable decrease in dollar issuance, due to several factors, such as rising interest rates and tighter financial conditions in the region. 2023-2024 showed the stabilisation of the market, with dollar issuance rebounding modestly.
Headwinds, like geopolitical conflict and an ‘anti-ESG backlash’ stopped 2025 issuance from extending two years of growth in 2023-24. Issuance in 2026 may suggest some signs of recovery in the region, with EMEA Q1 2026 dollar issuance exceeding 2025 Q1 dollar issuance by $19 billion. However, Q1 2026 issuance is still $11 billion below Q1 2024’s, suggesting the market has not yet fully recovered.
