Crédit Agricole S.A. and Santander have entered into an agreement for the acquisition by Crédit Agricole S.A. of Santander’s 30.5% stake in CACEIS, its asset servicing provider. Following the envisaged transaction, Crédit Agricole S.A. will control 100% of the share capital of CACEIS.

As the integration of environmental and social challenges continues, the volume of sustainable bond issuance is expected to reach c.EUR 900bn-eq in 2025, resulting in a c.10% growth vs 2024, according to Crédit Agricole CIB ESG Fixed Income Research team. Given the current macroeconomic and geopolitical landscape, the momentum for ESG investments in 2025 may not be as strong as required for the transition to a low-carbon economy to stay within the 1.5°C scenario. However, over the longer term, ESG investments and sustainable finance will continue to have a disruptive impact on capital markets.
