Published July 3, 2021, 9:00 AM The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has launched a guide that aims to help developing countries tap into global debt markets to support a green, resilient, and inclusive recovery from the pandemic and meet the sustainable development goals (SDGs). On Friday, July 2, the Manila-based multilateral institution launched a new report entitled “Accelerating Sustainable Development after COVID-19: The Role of SDG Bonds,” which is a guide to using SDG bonds as a mechanism to attract global private financing. The ADB report has proposed a new kind of SDG bond called “SDG Accelerator Bond” that could help countries reduce the perceived investment risk posed by an issuing entity, sector, or project with no track record on bond issuance.
