S&P Global Ratings forecast global sustainable bond issuance will stabilize at USD 800-900 billion in 2026, marking a shift from rapid growth to consolidation. Europe is expected to remain the largest sustainable bond market, with issuance stabilizing in 2026 amid regulatory and investor-demand support. In the U.S., municipal issuers remain active in areas such as clean transportation and water infrastructure, but labeled issuance has slowed as some issuers opt for conventional bonds to avoid additional reporting requirements. S&P Global Ratings said Asia-Pacific activity is supported by refinancing needs as many sustainable bonds approach maturity, while Latin America and the Middle East are expected to sustain issuance tied to renewable energy and infrastructure investment.
