1st Brazil's Sustainable Sovereign Bond Issuance

The Government of Brazil has developed a Framework for the Issuance of Sustainable Sovereign Bonds, establishing the basis for issuing sovereign debt linked to budget expenditures that directly contribute to the country's sustainable development. This initiative reaffirms Brazil's commitment to sustainable policies, promoting the transition towards a greener, more inclusive and equitable economy. The framework was prepared by the Sovereign Sustainable Finance Committee (CFSS) with support from the Inter-American Development Bank and the World Bank, and obtained a Second Party Opinion from Sustainalytics confirming its alignment with the principles of the International Capital Market Association (ICMA).
