Three days after President Biden signed the Infrastructure and Investment Jobs Act, panelists discuss the role of climate change in state and local finance budgeting, as well as the role the federal government may play under the bill and other measures proposed by the Biden Administration. This special briefing features a panel of experts, including Tim Coffin, director of sustainability, Breckinridge Capital Advisors in Boston; Hughey Newsome, chief financial officer for Wayne County, Michigan; Emily Robare, vice president and credit research analyst, PIMCO Municipals; and Nora Wittstruck, director-ESG Lead for US Public Finance, S&P Global. Notable Quotes: “For example, when oil was trending at negative dollars per barrel during the onset of the pandemic, we moved ratings for Alaska and Wyoming, because of their reliance on severance taxes that fund their budgets from the oil and gas sector,” Nora Wittstruck. “Our built environment, our communities, our cities, were built for a different time period where we weren't dealing with temperature increasing the way that it is,” Emily Robare. “The county did receive $340M of ARPA money, and we just reported to the County Commision and made public our intent to bring forth specific initiatives to fund the sustainability office. If those efforts are approved by our Commission, we will be able to launch a dedicated sustainability office,” Hughey Newsome. “Climate can magnify the existing credit issues, particularly for distressed communities, and can really become what we would recognize as a competing fiscal demand,” Tim Coffin.

Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) investing remains a nascent asset class across emerging markets. As investors put ESG more at the centre of their asset allocation decisions – especially if “values-based” rather than “risk-based” investing becomes more marked – then high yielding emerging markets at the weaker end of the credit spectrum might find it challenging to access capital which in-turn could raise the price of funding for these countries. Ehsan Khoman, Head of Emerging Markets Research (EMEA), contextualises the ESG conundrum facing high yielding emerging markets and believes that more government and multilateral engagement will be required to safeguard capital flows.   Disclaimer: www.mufgresearch.com (PDF)
