Covered Bond Research of the Year
2022 and 2023 have been a structural break in covered bond markets with the ECB stepping back, issuance volumes surging, spreads widening but also many investors returning. To be voted number one in such a crucial period for the market means the world to us. We can only thank all of our clients for your trust in our experience and views in these tricky conditions.

Best ESG Deal: Crédit Agricole, €1.25bn 3.25% June 2033 social
In the new context of increased funding needs for Crédit Agricole group, the covered bonds market is the most attractive market. The issuance was a great success, thanks to the social label bonus, we achieved to increase significantly the size and the maturity.
