Global finance landscape is gearing towards sustainability. From green bonds to ESG-linked loans, investors are aligning with environmental and social goals. Global consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) reported that institutional investment in ESG-linked assets is expected to soar to US$33.9 trillion by 2026.
Malaysia is also advancing towards sustainable financing. Khazanah Nasional issued RM6bil Sukuk Kelestarian to advance Green goals under the 12th Malaysian Plan. CIMB launched a sustainability linked fund by committing RM3bil through to 2030 for Malaysian SMEs whilst Malayan Banking Bhd announced commitment to mobilise RM20.69bil for sustainable finance.
