ESMA provides analysis on issuers' potential benefits from an ESG pricing effect

October 6, 2023--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's financial markets and securities regulator, today publishes an article on the European sustainable debt market, analysing the existence of an ESG pricing effect ('the Greenium') across different types of sustainable-abelled debt instruments.
