With investors and other market participants increasingly using the SDGs as a framework for investment, the World Bank considers the Global Sustainable Development Bond an opportunity to align financial and social objectives. The ten-year Bond raised EUR 1.5 billion from institutional investors to finance the Bank’s sustainable development activities. The SDGs highlighted by the Bond – Goals 2, 5, 13 and 16 – align with Ireland’s focus areas for development.
