SSAs: issuance amid a shifting global landscape
With many recent changes afoot, heightened by advancements in innovation, the global landscape is shifting. A consequence of this has been more reliance on the safe and stable haven of SSA issuance to see us through economic and geopolitical shocks and public emergencies. But coupled with more acute pressures on fiscal policy, compounded by rises in interest rates and inflation, our panel will consider what this means for SSA issuance, whether investor behaviours and market infrastructure are keeping pace with the SSA response, and the effect of participations across different geographies.

09.20 Sustainable Finance in an uncertain world
In recent years, transition finance has emerged as an important part of sustainable finance. The war in Ukraine and other global geopolitical uncertainties have further increased the need to transition. In the sustainable bond markets especially, green bonds and sustainability-linked bonds have emerged as ideal instruments for financial and corporate issuers, but also sovereigns, to raise transition finance for hard to abate sectors as well as research and innovation. Questions have also been raised about greenwashing risks in sustainable finance. Both the market and regulators are addressing these concerns through multiple initiatives.
