Asia-Pacific

Societe Generale is honoured to have been named “Commodity and Energy Finance House of the Year”.

The Asia Risk Awards is one of the longest-running and most prestigious awards recognising companies for their excellent performance in Asia’s derivative markets and in risk management.

Since the boom in 2020, global Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) investments that embed ESG criteria have gone through some bumpy years – particularly in 2023. Macroeconomic events such as the energy price shock in Europe, interest rate hikes, and even political elections, have had a profound impact on ESG investing.

Capital markets solutions offer another way to provide the scale of financing needed for the energy transition in Asia Pacific. A new Societe Generale-backed solar securitisation in New Zealand could serve as a template for other jurisdictions.

As we enter the second half of 2024, investors focus on the path of disinflation causing divergence in central banks’ policy easing. How will these factors play out and what are the implications on Asian markets?

International connectivity and a nimble approach to debt financing helps issuers and investors access the right opportunities at the right time.

Societe Generale is honoured to receive numerous esteemed accolades at The Asset Triple A Sustainable Infrastructure Awards 2024, which once again affirms our leading position in project and infrastructure finance, with a particular focus on sustainable infrastructure across Asia Pacific and globally.

The Asset Triple A Sustainable Finance Awards recognises institutions and corporates’ collective efforts in promoting sustainable finance amidst the changing market environment, supporting the region’s green transition and social development.

As stakeholders push companies to become more sustainable, technology, regulation and national support measures are all evolving rapidly to make this possible, allowing investors to deploy more capital with greater certainty.
