Abstract

The market for green bonds has undergone a significant development on a global scale over the past few years. This process has been driven both by the design and implementation of specific regulations by national political and economic decision-makers and by the growing interest of companies and governments at different levels to access financing through these "thematic" instruments. Argentina has not been spared from these trends. The aim of this article is to analyze the regulatory framework and the dynamics of the green bond market in Argentina between 2019 and 2023. The study draws on theories from International Political Economy (IPE) and Political Ecology. In terms of its methodological design, the article relies on the documentary analysis of the regulations governing the issue and of the 37 green bond issues carried out in the country between December 2019 and October 2023.
