Sub-sovereign debt
While sub-sovereign issuers vary greatly, they often need funding to finance public services and infrastructure, which have a clear link to ESG outcomes. Investors are increasingly — and systematically — incorporating ESG factors into their risk assessment of local authorities’ debt, as well as recognising the important role that sub-sovereign entities can play in achieving sustainable and resilient growth.
The PRI would like to thank the advisory committee for its support. Contact us if you have questions.
