Annual issuance of sustainable bonds in the Americas
Since the peak of 2021, sustainable bond issuance in the Americas has stayed steady at around $177 billion for both 2022 and 2023. Despite total issuance for the region having stayed the same for both 2022 and 2023 there has been a shift in distribution between North, South and Central American issuance, with Northern American issuance falling in 2023 and South and Central American issuance increasing to their highest recorded share at 21% and 10% respectively.
So far in 2024 North American issuance has picked up slightly to 70% of total issuance up from 68% in 2023, however Central American issuance is also currently on track to record its biggest year ever, with 12% of issuance year to date. In total the Americas region looks set to reach similar levels as 2022 and 2023 by the end of the year however it is unlikely it will achieve the $223 billion issued in 2021.
