Today marks the signing of the Global Green Bond Initiative Fund (GGBI), a new blended finance programme established by the European Union to accelerate the development of green bonds in emerging markets and developing economies. A truly European effort, GGBI is a flagship initiative of the EU’s Global Gateway.

Bringing together eight multilateral and bilateral Development Finance Institutions, GGBI introduces a new framework designed to scale investment and make blended finance more accessible to investors.

This milestone reflects strong collaboration across all partners and a shared commitment to mobilising capital for climate and environmental projects. In line with our strategic ambitions, Amundi is committed to advancing innovation in blended finance and supporting the growth of green bond markets.

Unlocking capital is critical to enabling greater participation by emerging markets in the energy transition. To this end, blended finance offers a unique opportunity to deploy capital that delivers both sustainable impact and financial returns.
We are very pleased to contribute to this landmark initiative, being the asset manager of the largest blended finance fund ever launched. This initiative is fully aligned with the strategic ambitions of Amundi in responsible investment. Collaboration among stakeholders is essential to designing effective structures and sharing expertise, and we will continue to leverage our global leadership and differentiated capabilities to advance innovation in these fields.
