With green German Federal securities, market participants with a wide range of investment horizons are offered a green and transparent investment alternative with a first-class credit rating.

With a focus on maturities of 2, 5, 10 and 30 years, the Federal government also intends to set the interest rate reference for the green euro financial market. The twin concept developed by the German Finance Agency also allows market participants to directly compare green and conventional twin bonds and to identify the yield difference – the so-called greenium – at a glance. The Federal Republic and the Finance Agency aim to strengthen and further develop the market for green and sustainable investments through this price transparency.

The issuance of green Federal securities can also realise interest cost savings for the Federal Republic of Germany. Since 2020, the Federal Republic of Germany has also created a high level of transparency regarding the allocated green expenditures in the Federal budget by reporting on the use of funds.
