Social Bonds - gaining traction
ICMA members and interested market participants were invited to join us for a virtual event on social bonds and the implications for Asia Pacific. Social bonds and other social-themed fixed income products are gaining traction with market participants and are especially relevant in the context of the COVID-19 crisis. In this virtual event, sustainable finance experts from ICMA and the market discussed key features of social bonds and other virus response bonds, ongoing development of the Social Bond Principles, and the applicability of social bonds in addressing socioeconomic issues including those arising from COVID-19.
