  • Summary

  • ◆ 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?
