Deutsche Kreditbank (DKB) will in future only tap the bond markets in green and social format, after having sold the first deal compliant with the latest draft of the EU Taxonomy and Green Bond Standard, a €500m five year that is also the first senior preferred bank bond issued at a negative yield.

A lack of data and confusion over standards could thwart EU Taxonomy-compliant green bonds with commercial real estate as their use of proceeds, according to speakers in a Berlin Hyp-CBI event, but the ambition of the European initiative was welcomed.
