What is a Green Repo?
Green principles have now hit the repo market - and so we now have green repos. But what is it? There’s no market consensus. In this video, Richard will guide us through green repos, what makes it green and what differentiates it from traditional green financing.
Overview
Although there is no consensus on what a green repo is, you still have repos that finance green objectives. The use of green, or brown, collateral does not make a difference to whether a repo is green or not. However, Richard outlines 5 basic principles to use in assessing green repos.
Key learning objectives:
Learn what a green repo is
Understand why greenness or lack thereof in a collateral does not make a repo ‘green’ or ‘brown’
Identify key aspects of a repo that differentiate it from traditional green financing
