This issuance is a significant highlight amid a dynamic week in the USD SSA markets, witnessing the launch of 8 benchmarks totaling $ 17.25 billion within a span of two days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Sustainable Bond Program seamlessly consolidates and enhances the African Development Bank\u2019s existing Green and Social Bond programs, facilitating the issuance of green bonds, social bonds, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.afdb.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2023\/09\/12\/230912_afdb_sustainable_bond_framework_final.pdf\">sustainability bonds<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">With this transaction, the African Development Bank continues to carry out its funding strategy of issuing large liquid benchmark transactions and adds another on-the-run reference in the 3-year maturity. The Bank was able to successfully secure the tightest pricing among Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) both versus swaps and US Treasuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The issuance received strong support from the global investor community, with an order book in excess of $ 3.5 billion and attracted high-quality investors, including central banks, official institutions, and bank treasuries, constituting 78% of the book. Distribution was well diversified across geographies and investor profiles, with 76 orders in the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The social label garnered interest from ESG investors, representing 38% of participants in the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The African Development Bank (AfDB) has launched its first social bond in 2024 at $ 2 billion under its new Sustainable Bond Framework, established in September 2023.
