here<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe period also shows activity in BYMA\u2019s Social, Green, and Sustainable (SVS) Bond panel, with a slowdown in volume and number of issuances, compared with the upward trend seen since 2019. Between 2023 and 2024, there were 40 issuances totaling USD 1.132 billion, with a predominance of energy projects (wind and solar). Green bonds accounted for 75% of issuances and 93% of the amount. Twenty-one issuers\u2014public and private\u2014participated, with Genneia standing out with 8 bonds and nearly USD 300 million.<\/p>\n
Investor demand for SVS instruments remains strong: over the last four years, it has significantly exceeded supply, and in 2023\u20132024 the gap remained above 40%, signaling unmet appetite for sustainable finance.<\/p>\n
On the banking side, sustainability reports from 12 institutions show 121,849 social, green, and\/or sustainable loans totaling USD 3.2 billion during the period, in addition to identified mutual funds and trusts.<\/p>\n
The study clarifies the scope of \u201cimpact investment\u201d: investments with an explicit intention to generate positive, measurable social and\/or environmental impact, along with financial returns. The database was built from 42 survey responses (from both supply and demand), interviews with 28 ecosystem actors, public data verification, and specific analysis of the SVS bond panel and banking sustainability reports.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the School of Business Administration, our aim is to strengthen Argentina\u2019s impact investment ecosystem with reliable, comparable, and decision-useful information. This mapping consolidates a long-term effort to systematically measure these types of investments, which are essential for building more inclusive and sustainable markets in Argentina,\u201d said Fernanda Figueroa, co-director of the mapping project and professor and researcher at the Center for Studies in Sustainability and Social Innovation (CESIS).<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\u201cFrom Fundaci\u00f3n Alimentaris, we work to strengthen the impact investment ecosystem in the country. This mapping allows us to understand experiences, how resources are being mobilized toward initiatives that combine financial return with social and environmental impact, and opens the door for more actors to join this transformation and help consolidate an increasingly solid market in Argentina,\u201d added Eugenia Concina, Director of Prosperity Programs at Fundaci\u00f3n Alimentaris.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nOverall, the report records USD 4.373 billion in sustainable financing during the two-year period (debt, equity, and quasi-equity), representing 14% of impact investment in Latin America.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_gallery type=”flickity_static_height_style” images=”7473,7475,7477″ flickity_spacing=”10px” flickity_controls=”next_prev_arrows_overlaid” flickity_overflow=”visible” flickity_wrap_around=”wrap” flickity_autoplay=”true” flickity_autorotate_type=”default” flickity_box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” onclick=”link_no” flickity_img_height=”500″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
