Event overview
In 2020, social bond issues tripled compared to the previous year. This trend can be explained in particular by the issuance of bonds linked to the pandemic. A benchmark example is the European Union's October 20 issue of 17 billion euros in social bonds to help Member States finance employment support programs in the context of the Covid-19.
Through a dialogue between issuers, investors and major stakeholders, this round table presented the main developments in this market, its challenges for issuers, the expectations of investors and the main drivers to promote the growth of issuance of social bonds.
