Huge demand was there as Brussels kicked off its efforts for becoming worlds biggest issuer of sustainable debt.
Euro 12bn sale of 15-year debt attracted about Euro 135bn of orders.
This was the largest green bond deal, eclipsing the UKs 10bn debut in the month of September.
This issue of recent bond is the first of an expected 250bn of European Commission green bonds. It makes about a third of the EUs 800bn Covid-19 recovery fund.
