PRESS RELEASE 20/02/2025
European public issuers are playing a leading role in the development of the green, social and sustainable bond market.
By financing high-impact projects – transport infrastructure, social housing, hospitals, etc. – they are meeting sustainable development objectives and attracting investors seeking responsible financial performance.
In view of the colossal investment needs for ecological and social transition, sustainable debt markets have become an essential lever to support the adjustment of our countries to the challenges of sustainable development.
EthiFinance, a European financial and extra-financial rating agency, regularly supports these actors by providing Second Party Opinions on their sustainable bond issuances.
Drawing on its expertise in credit and ESG research and its European locations, EthiFinance is today publishing an in-depth analysis of the practices of the European public sector (states, local authorities, public services and public financial institutions) over the period 2021-2024.
