Bilateral vs syndicated loan agreements in the sustainable loan market

EF Data is examining an important distinction in the sustainable loan market: whether a loan is bilateral or syndicated across multiple lenders. This distinction shapes deal mechanics and how visible the transaction is to the market.

Using this lens throughout this report, we explore the average value of each loan type, market size, loan label breakdowns, sectoral breakdowns and Key Performance Indicator usage in Sustainability-Linked Loans (SLLs).
