MuniFin celebrated 10 years of green bonds by ringing the Nasdaq Helsinki opening bell on Thursday 11 June at 10:00 EET.
In 2016, MuniFin became the first Finnish credit institution to issue green bonds and offer green finance for environmentally and climate-beneficial projects.
The Nasdaq Helsinki opening bell ceremony marked an important milestone in MuniFin’s work to enable sustainable public-sector investments and channel international capital into projects supporting Finland’s green transition. The bell was rung by our CEO Esa Kallio together with Building Manager Veli-Matti Isoaho from the City of Kokkola, which was named MuniFin’s Green Pioneer of the Year in 2023.
“Over the past decade, green finance has become an established way of enabling sustainable investments across Finland. We are proud to celebrate this milestone together with our investors, partners and customers”, says Esa Kallio.
At the end of 2025, MuniFin’s green finance portfolio stood at approximately EUR 9.1 billion, supporting more than 700 projects. Green finance has supported investments ranging from energy-efficient buildings and cleaner transport solutions to projects that strengthen biodiversity and climate resilience.
The opening bell ceremony marked not only the past ten years, but also the work ahead: continuing to enable sustainable investments and drive Finland’s green transition.
