New EIB $148m Climate Bond / Climate Bond talks galore: London LSE 19 Apr; Oslo 2 May; NYC Env Bonds Conf 23 May; Toronto 25 May

> The European Investment Bank issued a 7 year, 3%, SEK1 billion ($148m) Climate Awareness Bond last week. Underwriters were SEB (Christopher Flensborg is at it again) and Deutsche Bank. Looks like Swedish funds continue to have appetite for climate and green bonds.
