Speaking in London today, Mark said: "Green securitization is an enormously important area we need to address if we're to successfully scale up finance to tackle climate change."
“The securitization of loan portfolios for renewables, energy efficiency loans and smaller scale climate debt opens up the opportunity to more quickly recycle bank capital - and equity - and so support more projects. Importantly , if investment grade, institutional investors can add these products to their mainstream bond portfolios”
