In fact, the market grew by 95% (1) a year between 2007 (the year the first green bond was issued) and the end of 2020, when the total amount raised also hit the $1 trillion mark.<br><br>The European Union (EU) has stayed out of the space until now, but that all changed when it issued $14 billion worth of green bonds on Tuesday. Trouble was, it completely underestimated demand, with investors putting in $156 billion worth of orders \u2013 the most for green bonds ever (2). Sit tight, y\u2019all: the EU\u2019s planning to sell nearly $275 billion more over the next few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-should-i-care\">Why should I care?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>The bigger picture:&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><em>Money talks.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These green bonds are caught in a virtuous circle right now. See, high demand for the assets pushes up their price and drags down their yields, which subsequently brings down their interest rates. This, at a time when the equivalent traditional bond\u2019s yield \u2013 and in turn interest rate \u2013 is higher. That means issuers can raise funds for green projects much more cheaply than they can non-green projects, which incentivizes them to think more sustainably.<br><br><strong><em>Zooming out:&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><em>Green bonds have banks\u2019 blessing.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk about the gift that keeps on giving: data from Bloomberg\u00a0shows\u00a0investment banks have earned $3.6 billion in fees this year from helping sell bonds advertised as \u201cgreen\u201d, \u201csocial\u201d, or \u201csustainable\u201d. Compare that to the $1.6 billion they\u2019ve made doing the same thing for fossil fuel companies, and banks might be happy enough for this trend to keep accelerating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally Posted on October 12, 2021 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finimize.com\/wp\/news\/shaken-and-stirred\/\">Stirred, Not
