Nasdaq Launches Two New Market Segments in Stockholm

Nasdaq announced the launch of two new market segments in Stockholm – Nasdaq Stockholm Sustainable Commercial Papers and Nasdaq Stockholm Sustainable Products. The new market segments will list sustainable commercial papers and structured products, respectively, and follows the growth of Nasdaq’s Sustainable Bond Market. The Sustainable Commercial Papers segment lists green commercial papers issued by the Swedish real estate company Vasakronan AB. The market is intended to raise awareness around a new type of sustainable debt instrument, while providing transparency that allows investors to track their green investments. The first structured products in the Sustainable Products segment are issued by Credit Agricole Financial Solutions, arranged by Swedish brokerage firm Garantrum Fondkommission, and are built from Credit Agricole’s green bond framework.
