Sustainable loan issuance
The sustainable loan market has grown significantly since 2020. In this period, the sustainability-linked loan label has consistently dominated the market. Indeed, from 2020-2024, the sustainability-linked label made up over 70% of US$ sustainable loan issuance. This is largely because of the label's popularity with large corporates to secure financing, often in the form of credit facilities.
However, data from 2025 thus far indicates a slight waning of the SLL's dominance, making up a diminished 53% of the labelled loan market. This could be because some SLLs from late 2025 are yet to be declared so early on in 2026, or instead it could reflect a general downturn in SLL US$ issuance.
Contrastingly, from 2024 to 2025 green loan issuance remained remarkably consistent, with just US$12 billion more issued in 2025 than 2024. From 2020 to 2024, the green loan label saw consistent growth, with total US$ issuance increasing sevenfold in this period.
