Abstract Former reports of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) tended to focus on the equity side investing, today green bonds also offer introduce sustainability factors. This paper is about relevance, potential benefits key arguments for countries with low-and middle-incomes where financial markets are not comparable those in developed countries. We begin by stating clearly relevance a economy transformation, highlight development challenges they face talk how approach can help...
