Sovereign sustainable bond issuance ($bn)

The chart depicts sovereign sustainable bond issuance between January and April 2023 compared with the same period in 2024. Last year was the strongest for sovereigns on record, with $160 billion in issuance. Sovereigns got off to a strong start in 2024, producing the strongest monthly issuance — January — and the strongest first quarter on record. Surprisingly, despite the strong start, this year’s sovereign issuance is still below last year's by as much as $6 billion, thanks to a weak April in 2024 compared to a strong one last year.
