The Bank continues to consolidate its environmental, social and governance (ESG) footprint through the issuance of green and social bonds, which this year included its first-ever social-bond transaction denominated in Australian dollar.
The African Development Bank has also used its ‘High 5’ strategic priorities as a platform to issue 29 theme bonds, including Integrate Africa, Feed Africa, Improve the Quality of life for the People of Africa, Industrialize Africa and Light Up and Power Africa.
