INCREASING top-down support from regulators and governments has driven the growth of global socially responsible investment (SRI) bonds in the past few years, with the supply from Asia-Pacific expected to ramp up as financing needs rise in the region, said Raj Malhotra, head of debt capital markets, Asia Pacific, Societe Generale.
The volume of issuance of such bonds has quadrupled since 2015, from 39 billion euros (S$59.5 billion) in 2015 to 157 billion euros in 2019 year-to-date, he told the media at the French bank's annual Sustainable and Positive Impact Finance roundtable held late last week.
