The global sustainable bond market had its busiest February on record, driven by large deals from governments and a string of debut transactions from big corporations.
New sales of green, social, sustainability and sustainability-linked debt reached $87.75 billion last month, making it the most active February since green bonds first emerged in 2007, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The borrowing blitz follows an even busier January, when over $115 billion was raised.
