Abstract

Being relatively new, even definition of green bonds is under scrutiny. As the market of green bonds is rapidly growing (with the small recent setback in growing rates), it is crucial to establish the main determinants of the green bonds market growth and evaluate the perspectives of green bonds in sustainable economy. The main objectives of the research are the following: to evaluate the need for the green bonds as instruments, fostering the sustainability of economy; to identify the determinants of both green bonds related and green investment; to analyze the green bond yields and prices in comparison to non-green bonds; to estimate the perspective volatility of the green bonds price. Green bonds characteristics were compared against characteristics of the non-green bonds. Covariation and regression based analysis was used for the identification of green investment determinants. Variance was estimated in the assessment of bond price volatility. The results showed that price of both green bonds and non-green bonds has tendency to fluctuate in the similar trend; green bond appeal determinants are in coherence with the determinants of green investment; green bonds tend to be less volatile than non-green bonds. It is concluded that the use of green bonds has significant potential to add to the sustainability of the economy.
