In recent years, the rise of green bonds has provided a promising financing mechanism in climate change mitigation efforts, and studies investigating this market have revealed the notion of a 'green premium' or 'greenium' within green bond pricing.

But, how prevalent is the existence of a green premium in the green bond market and how do ESG factors influence investor behavior and the pricing of green bonds compared to traditional bonds?

On this episode of Eco Money, Stefen Macaskill, Research Fellow at the Griffith Business School, and Energy Management Planning Engineer at the Council of the City of Gold Coast, Australia shares his insights.

Singapore has long invested in cancer prevention, from strong tobacco control to national vaccination programmes against hepatitis B and HPV. But oncologists say lifestyle-related risks remain a major driver of cancer cases, even as policies continue to evolve.

Globally, research suggests nearly four in 10 cancer cases may be linked to preventable causes such as smoking, diet and environmental exposures. So what explains the persistent risks in a high-income, ageing society like Singapore?

As the conflict surrounding Iran moves from rhetoric to a direct strike on Kharg Island, global energy markets are on a knife-edge. Oriano Lizza, Sales Trader at CMC Markets Singapore discusses whether the IEA’s record 400-million-barrel reserve release is enough to stop an oil spiral, how Chair Powell will navigate a fresh inflationary shock during this week’s FOMC meeting, and why China’s recent NPC "growth floor" is failing to spark a rotation back into mainland equities.
