About this session
The demand for green, social and sustainability-linked bonds is consistently growing.

- How attractive are sustainable fixed income products to investors in this hyper low-interest environment? What's needed to mobilise more capital?
- How might KPI-linked loans and bonds change the game for sustainable finance?
- Why and how international investors are taking a step up on corporate and government bond engagement?
