New African Sovereign Debt Index Helps Global Push for Liquidity https://lnkd.in/ehwwhDUn
The Liquidity and Sustainability Facility (LSF)
International Trade and Development
Designed by the UN ECA and Afreximbank to support the liquidity of African Sov Eurobonds & investments in SDG bonds
About us
The Liquidity and Sustainability Facility (LSF) was designed with the support of the United Nations Economic, Commission for Africa (UN ECA) and Afreximbank with two clear objectives: 1) Support the liquidity of African sovereign Eurobonds. As a well-governed and well-resourced counterparty in the repo markets the LSF is engaging with private investors wishing to raise short-term borrowings against their holdings of African sovereign eurobonds. Its aim is to improve African Sovereign debt sustainability and, through its participation with African governments and private investors contribute to the enhancement of the liquidity in the market on par with international standards. 2) Incentivise green and SDG-related investments. The ambition of the LSF is to help finance the green and sustainable recovery of Africa by incentivising SDG linked instruments, such as green bonds, in the African Continent. An improvement in the terms of new issuances of SDG- or climate-linked bonds of African nations could see a dramatic increase in the volume of green and blue bond financing, and at affordable rates. Its establishment was announced in November 2021 at the COP 26 in Glasgow. #LSF #Africa #Liquidity #Repo #Greenbond #SDG #Sovereigndebtliquidityandsustainability #LSFacility #UNECA https://vimeo.com/thelsf

Mobilising more private capital so emerging markets and developing economies can meet climate challenges and deliver the SDGs
A fantastic London Action Climate Week. The pinnacle for me was Friday's launch of the iBoxx®️LSF USD African Sovereigns Index, a partnership with the The Liquidity and Sustainability Facility (LSF) and S&P Dow Jones Indices supported by FCDO's MOBILIST Global and Prosper Africa. This index will improve transparency of African sovereign bond markets, supporting asset allocation to frontier economies where it is most needed. An important tool to mobilise the trillions needed for the #SDGs and #climate. Thank you LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) for hosting us.
