Over the past few years, North America’s green bond issuance has experienced fluctuations. Here is a summary of recent trends:
- 2021-2023: During this period, green bond issuance in North America faced challenges, with 2021 seeing significant issuances but later years experiencing declines or modest growth at best. The U.S. was a major player, but overall growth was not as strong as in Europe.
- 2024: Sustainable bond issuance in North America rose by 13% compared to 2023, marking a positive trend after successive years of decline. However, the share of sustainable bonds in total issuance remains relatively low in the region.
- 2025 Outlook: The market is expected to remain sluggish in 2025. While there is some recovery, North America’s penetration rate for sustainable bonds is significantly lower than in Europe, partly due to political factors and lower demand for labeled sustainable bonds.
Despite these trends, there is ongoing support from parts of the private sector and local governments, which could continue to drive modest growth in green bond issuances in North America.
