KfW breaks €50 bln threshold in LGX-listed green bonds
German state-owned bank KfW has become the first to have issued a total of more than 50 billion euro in green bonds on the Luxembourg Green Exchange, known as LGX, the Luxembourg Stock Exchange said. This achievement was marked by a LuxSE bell ceremony on Monday.
KfW issued its first green bond 8 years ago and has since issued about 100 green bonds, raising some 50 billion euro for green projects. Its significant green funding programme makes KfW one of the 10 largest sustainable bond issuers in the world.
