Securitização sustentável no Brasil
Summary
The report analyzes the Brazilian sustainable securitization market, highlighting the dominance of green labels and the potential for asset-backed securities (ABS) to fund small-scale sustainable projects in agriculture and energy.
Key insights
- By the end of the third quarter of 2022, Brazil's cumulative labeled debt reached USD 32.6 billion, representing 22.7% of the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) market.
- Brazil leads the LAC region in sustainability-linked and transition instruments, holding a 60.7% market share.
- Green labels dominate the Brazilian sustainable securitization market, accounting for 70% of the volume (USD 868 million), with Agribusiness Receivables Certificates (CRAs) representing 91% of that green ABS volume.
- Sustainability-linked instruments represent the largest share of Brazil's thematic operations as of Q3 2022, with a volume of USD 16.5 billion across bonds and loans.
- The Brazilian sustainable ABS market is characterized by shorter terms, with 58% of green ABS volume having maturities between five and ten years.
- Ecoagro is the primary green securitization vehicle in Brazil, holding a 67% market share and issuing ten green CRAs for bioenergy, agriculture, and forests.
- Securitization offers five main benefits for issuers: access to debt capital markets, lower cost of capital, increased market competitiveness, scalability of the local VSS+ debt market, and the ability to leverage the lending capacity of financial entities.
- The 2022 Legal Framework for Securitization (Law No. 14,430/22) and CVM Resolution No. 60 expanded the range of securitized assets beyond the real estate and agribusiness sectors, specifically through the introduction of Receivables Certificates (CRs).
- Approximately 8% of the Brazilian financial system's credit portfolio is exposed to transition risks, with 70% of this exposure coming from cattle ranching, freight transport, and steelmaking.
