How Austria is breaking ground with green T-Bills

Markus Stix, managing director at the Austrian Treasury, speaks to Burhan Khadbai, head of content at OMFIF’s Sovereign Debt Institute, about the launch of the world’s first short-term sovereign green bond programme.

Stix talks about the reception of Austria’s first rollover of green Treasury bills, plans to issue green commercial paper and how the Treasury has shared its experiences with other sovereign debt management offices looking to follow in Austria’s footsteps.
