“Transition finance is a growing part of bank lending and a strategy increasingly used by multi-billion-dollar investment funds. Yet there is little agreement on what a transition finance strategy should involve.” Eurozone banks are already charging higher interest rates to “brown” companies than to greener ones, according to a paper published last week by the ECB.

Global debt just skyrocketed by $1.3 trillion, hitting an all-time high of $315 trillion in Q1 2024. And if that's not eye-popping enough, after three straight quarters of decline, the global debt-to-GDP ratio is back on its upward journey. Emerging markets are leading the charge, with debt soaring past $105 trillion, with notable spikes in China, India, and Mexico. #DebtSurge #EconomicTrends
