摘要:The EU taxonomy for sustainable economic activities (“EU taxonomy”) is an important tool used to redirect investments towards environmentally sustainable activities. This article [4] presents the key findings on the impact that the EU taxonomy and related initiatives could have on European financial markets. We find that, currently, only 1% of the European financial markets finance economic activities that are “green”, i.e. aligned with the taxonomy. We estimate that green instruments could reach about 10% of overall debt financing, with even higher growth potential for green finance in sectors such as transport and buildings.
