Abstract

This post is part, with the post 379 “Green premium: can firms fund their green projects at a lower cost? » (with link) and post 381 “Valuation of the climate risk of corporate bonds” (with link) of the series dedicated to “Green Premiums”. An increasing number of governments are issuing green bonds to finance their environmental projects, thereby contributing to the development of the green bond market. This post shows that, in the euro area, the market price of these bonds is higher than that of equivalent conventional bonds, and takes a look at the factors underpinning this green premium (or “greenium”). Ce billet fait partie, avec les billets 379: « Prime verte : les entreprises peuvent-elles financer leurs projets verts à moindre coût ? » et 381 « Valorisation du risque climatique des obligations d’entreprise » de la série du blog consacrée aux « Primes vertes ». De plus en plus d’États émettent des obligations vertes pour financer leurs projets environnementaux, contribuant ainsi au développement du marché des obligations vertes. En zone euro, ce billet montre que le prix de marché de ces titres est supérieur à celui des titres conventionnels équivalents, et s’interroge sur les facteurs soutenant cette prime verte.
