NTMA announces the publication of the Irish Sovereign Green Bond (ISGB) Allocation Report for 2023 and the Impact Report for 2022
11 September 2024 - The National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA) announces the publication of the Irish Sovereign Green Bond (ISGB) Allocation Report for 2023 and the Impact Report for 2022. Both are issued by the Government of Ireland.
The Allocation Report details a total of €521 million allocated to eligible green projects in 2023. Since the launch of ISGBs in 2018, a total of €11,309 million proceeds has been allocated.
The Impact Report is the fifth one issued in accordance with the ISGB Framework. It details the environmental impact measures connected with the 2022 Allocation Report and is spread across the six eligible green categories:
- Built Environment/Energy Efficiency
- Clean Transportation
- Climate Change Adaptation
- Environmentally Sustainable Management of Living Natural Resources and Land Use
- Renewable Energy
- Sustainable Water and Wastewater Management
Both reports released today have been reviewed by Sustainalytics which found them to be in compliance with the ISGB Framework.
Both reports and an excel file of the Impact Report are available on this link.
Note:
ISGBs are designed to provide investors with the financial features of standard Irish government bonds combined with sovereign green bond market practices. The proceeds from ISGBs are paid into the Central Fund in the same manner as standard government bonds and are allocated by a Working Group against Eligible Green Projects which generate a positive environmental benefit. There are €10,865 million nominal of ISGBs outstanding.
