LuxSEThe home ofGreen Bonds
Mobilising capital markets for a low-carbon transition Capital markets have already started to play a role
filling the green investment gap and are expected to
become a dominant source of green capital taking up a
growing share of the $100 trillion global debt markets.
The successful implementation of the COP 21
Agreement implies the materialization of unprecedented
financial means coupled with important economic and
investment opportunities that public sector finance and
traditional bank loans will be unable to provide alone.
With low carbon and climate resilient infrastructure
investments being now a top global priority, the market
of both labelled and unlabelled Green Bonds is likely to
grow significantly across a wide range of borrowers
and industry sectors.
In order to achieve Paris’s climate goals, financial needs
will probably amount to trillions per year (USD 5 trillion
by 2020 according to the International Energy Agency).
A pioneering institution since the earliest days of this market,
LuxSE has grown to be the world leader for the listing of
green bonds, with more than 120 listings.
LuxSE: a pioneering commitment to green values
Since the listing of the first ever Green Bond by the European
Investment Bank (EIB) kicking off the market in 2007, all of
the major green issuers (MDBs, SSAs, financial institutions
and corporates) have trusted LuxSE as the natural location
for green bond listings.
Impressive growth since 2007

Selection of green issuers“Iberdrola is really comfortable with the level
of assurance provided both by the CSSF and the
LuxSE, where their bonds have been listed for
decades. The depth of this market allows the
Company to achieve the expected degree of
availability for international investors. This has
been developed even more with the recent birth of
LGX, where Social Responsible Investors can easily
find the kind of securities they are looking for.”
