STORYLINE:
Small-scale farmers around the world sound their approval. IFAD, the International Fund for Agricultural Development, has issued its first sustainable development bond for US$100 million with the Swedish insurance and pension fund, Folksam.
The bond is listed on the Luxembourg stock exchange and sets the stage for IFAD’s increased investment in food security, rural development and economic growth around the world. At a time when the war in Ukraine is pushing food, fertilizer and energy prices to record levels, and millions more rural people are at risk of hunger and poverty, investments like these are desperately needed.
IFAD is the first United Nations Fund and the only UN body and specialized agency other than the World Bank Group to enter capital markets following the completion of its AA+ credit rating process in 2021.
