Overview
The sustainable bond market in Spain and Portugal has continued to develop in recent years. A number of issuers have returned to the market through repeat programmes, while seeking to align their financing approaches with broader economic, climate and energy-transition objectives.
At the same time, market standards and disclosure expectations continue to evolve, including around framework design, management of proceeds, reporting and, where relevant, transition-related disclosures. For the purposes of this conference, three themes are particularly relevant: the continued activity of Spanish regional public issuers, financing needs associated with the energy transition, and investor perspectives on issuance planning and transaction execution.
The ICMA Iberia Sustainable Finance Conference will bring together public sector issuers, corporate issuers, investors and financial institutions to discuss how the region’s sustainable bond market can continue to develop in depth, consistency and transparency. The conference will combine issuer practice, investor perspectives and the broader policy and market context shaping sustainable and transition finance in Iberia.
Admission: This event is free to attend and open to all interested market participants.![]()
