Mexico: An opportunity for green capital markets

IFC, through its 30 by 30 Zero Program for the green transformation of banks, presents this webinar, sponsored by GB TAP and in collaboration with Environmental Finance.

Mexico is among the fifteen largest economies in the world and the second largest in Latin America. Like most of the region, Mexico is highly exposed to climate-related financial risks, one of the greatest challenges of our time, which nonetheless also offers great opportunities for investors.

The response to climate change requires large capital investments in key sectors such as renewable energy, sustainable construction, energy efficiency, infrastructure for water and waste management, sustainable agriculture, among others.

The good news is: Mexico’s financial system is getting on board with this trend. Investments in Sustainable Bonds grew by 172% between 2019 and 2021.

This robust growth offers international responsible investors great opportunities to capitalize on the market dynamics derived from the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Join us to learn why Mexico is a great investment destination for green capital markets.
