Eurozone Green Bond Issuance Booms, New Trends in Bank Asset Allocation] 1. ABN AMRO recently successfully issued a seven-year senior bond with a fixed coupon rate, raising over €1.5 billion, demonstrating strong market demand for this type of green financial product. Designated a "European Green Bond" (EuGB), the bond is compliant with EU Green Bond regulations and the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) Green Bond Principles. The proceeds will be used to finance and refinance eligible green assets, aiming to support EU-classified economic activities. 2. The bond received ratings of Aa3 from Moody's, A from S&P, and A+ from Fitch, demonstrating its high credit quality and meeting institutional investors' demand for a robust asset allocation. The coupon rate range is set at €MS+85 basis points, highlighting the bond's attractiveness. This issuance further highlights the active role of banks in promoting sustainable finance and investors' growing appreciation for ESG (environmental, social, and governance) investment concepts. 3. The European Central Bank's policy path remains a key market focus, and its interest rate decisions and future guidance will have a profound impact on the eurozone bond market. Meanwhile, France's sovereign credit rating was downgraded to AA-. Although the market reaction was relatively muted, it highlights the potential risks to the fiscal situation of Eurozone economies that cannot be ignored. Investors are closely watching the monetary policy trends of various central banks and the potential impact of geopolitical factors on market sentiment.
