Chart of the Month Vol. 34 | "Financing the Future of Energy" | Powered by Deloitte

Our latest Chart of the Month, titled "Financing the Future of Energy" explores the evolving landscape of sustainable finance, focusing on green and sustainability‑linked bonds, loans, and ESG performance across Europe.

In Greece, the green finance market has gained strong momentum in 2024, with approximately €3 billion in Green Bonds issued by leading banks (Eurobank, NBG, Piraeus Bank) and industrial players such as Metlen Energy & Metals. The Public Power Corporation (PPC) also stands out with three Sustainability‑Linked Bonds totaling €1.4 billion, maturing between 2026 and 2028.

On a European scale, Greece achieved an ESG score of 65, surpassing several regional peers but still trailing leaders like Denmark (98.8). This indicates progress yet underlines the need for enhanced corporate ESG practices to fully unlock access to sustainable capital.

Globally, sustainable loans surged to $363 billion across 696 deals, with Europe leading by a wide margin. These funds are largely directed toward renewables, green buildings, energy efficiency, and water management, aligning with EU Taxonomy and SFDR goals.
