<body>Crédit Agricole CIB has been acting as the Global Coordinator, Structuring Bank, and Green Loan Coordinator in a financing package for SSAB and its transformation project to a state-of-the-art fossil-free mill in Luleå, Sweden.  The project is key to enable SSAB to re-position SSAB Europe as a maker of premium products, to lower production costs. It will helps reduce CO2 emissions from the operations and therefore Sweden’s emissions by 7%.<subtitle-block>Three green loan financing facilities up to EUR 2.3 billion  </subtitle-block>The financing is structured by Crédit Agricole CIB and backed by the Swedish National Debt Office (Riksgälden) and the Italian Export Credit Agency (SACE), as well as the Nordic Investment Bank (NIB). SSAB decided on the EUR 4.5 billion investment in the new steel mill in Luleå during 2024. Now, SSAB has signed three green loan financing facilities up to EUR 2.3 billion with commitments of financing matching the capex profile of the project. It includes SEK 15 billion loan supported by the Swedish National Debt Office’s (“Riksgälden”) under the “Credit guarantees for green investments” program and EUR 808 million loan backed by the Italian Export Credit Agency, SACE. The other loan is provided by NIB. The loans are structured under the Green Loan Principles, in line with SSAB’s Green and Sustainable Linked Finance Framework. <subtitle-block>Reducing by 7% of Sweden’s current CO2 emissions  </subtitle-block>The new mill will have a capacity of 2.5 million tonnes a year with two electric arc furnaces, advanced ladle metallurgy and an integrated rolling mill. The investment also includes a complex for cold rolling, advanced galvanizing, as well as continuous annealing, which is key to re-position SSAB Europe as a maker of premium products. Other advantages include lower costs, shorter lead times, as well as better ability to manage swings in demand. The new steel mill can use a flexible mix of fossil-free sponge iron, pig iron and recycled scrap. When the new mini-mill is completed, SSAB will close the current blast furnace-based production system, which will largely remove the CO2 emissions from the own operations in Luleå. The reduction corresponds to 7% of Sweden’s current CO2 emissions.<a @href="citation 1">citation 1</a> SSAB Press Release available <a @href="https://www.ssab.com/en/news/2025/04/ssab-secures-green-financing-of-eur-23-billion">here</a></body>

<body>Prominent financial publication FinanceAsia recently named Crédit Agricole CIB the Best International DCM Bank in Hong Kong SAR as well as the Best International Sustainable Bank in mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, and Taiwan for the year 2025. It is the third consecutive year for Crédit Agricole CIB awarded Best International Sustainable Bank in Mainland China, and the second consecutive year winning the Best International Sustainable Bank in Hong Kong SAR title.<title-block>Reaching the top in the Hong Kong debt capital markets</title-block>Crédit Agricole CIB witnesses a massive success in Hong Kong debt capital markets the last few years, progressing from below 10 to top 3 across league tables in the Hong Kong market. As Crédit Agricole CIB commits to striving for excellence, the Bank has broken its records in debt capital markets in 2024 – reaching top 3 in Investment Grade bonds for G3 currencies in Asia, consistently maintaining top 2 in green, social, sustainability and sustainability-linked bonds in Hong Kong, as well as top-ranking positions in HKD and CNH bonds league tables, while being one of the most active foreign banks in the Southbound Bond Connect and Swap Connect schemes. The Bank’s excellence has spread in the industry, as numerous clients, including new clients, mandate Crédit Agricole CIB in landmark deals. To date, Crédit Agricole CIB has captured approximately 90% market share among Hong Kong public bond issuances and had led all Hong Kong public bonds transactions in 2024.Notably, Crédit Agricole CIB has continued to act as the green structuring bank and joint global coordinator on all Hong Kong SAR Government’s institutional green bond issuances, and acted as the social, green and sustainability structuring advisor on all social issuances issued by the Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation. Nonetheless, Crédit Agricole CIB acted as the sole sustainable structuring advisor for the Hong Kong Urban Renewal Authority on its inaugural Sustainable Finance Framework and priced a triple-tranche HK$12 billion senior bonds for the Hong Kong Urban Renewal Authority in August 2024, underscoring its leadership.<title-block>Ongoing excellence for sustainable finance</title-block>Despite being the top sustainable finance bank in the region, Crédit Agricole CIB challenges the benchmark it has set, and continues to seek innovation and breakthroughs, as it tightens its ESG governance by introducing a new ESG Analytics Team in 2024 internally to manage ESG data. The Bank also achieved continued success in deploying its novel ESG-linked deposit account, which has expanded into six Asia-Pacific markets within one year. In mainland China, the Bank structured the world’s first-ever syndicated sustainability-linked loan for an aircraft lessor for CDB Aviation, as well as the first offshore Common Ground Taxonomy-aligned green bond issuance by a Chinese financial lessor, supporting companies in hard-to-abate sectors on their energy transition. In Taiwan, where Crédit Agricole CIB wins the FinanceAsia Best International Sustainable Bank for the first time, the Bank introduced the inaugural EU-Taxonomy-aligned green loan in Asia-Pacific for E-Ink to support its sustainable product development of ePaper, one of the most energy-efficient display technologies globally. Not to mention, to date, Crédit Agricole CIB is the only bank that has financed all offshore wind farm projects in Taiwan.Beyond innovating solutions, the Bank has also been sharing knowledge and experience with the wider market for a mass achievement.
