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

| In the article, ESMA notes that it cannot confirm a systematic pricing benefit for any ESG-labelled debt type as of March 2023. However, issuers of ESG bonds did benefit from a statistically significant pricing in the past driven by their issuer-level ESG credentials. |
