Is sustainability-linked finance over and who will run HSBC?
Manage episode 416239620 series 2950782
◆ Sustainability-linked bonds lose appeal...
◆ ... as do the loan versions, come to think of it
◆ The favourites to take over from Quinn at HSBC
When Enel missed a KPI on its sustainability-linked bonds, it could have marked a moment of maturation for a youthful product but issuance volumes are plummeting.
Meanwhile, the international banks that lend to Turkey's financial institutions seem to prefer to make green loans rather than the sustainability-linked versions they made previously.
We ask what is going on with sustainability-linked products — does all of this signify the last rites for an asset class that was supposedly so well-suited to funding the green transition?
Meanwhile, Noel Quinn caused a surprise this week by announcing his plans to retire from HSBC, where he is chief executive. We look at who might replace him, and we think we've identified a clear favourite.
