The true value of sustainable finance is not in the price

The article argues that the true value of sustainable finance goes far beyond price and interest rates. Although many companies seek sustainable financing hoping to obtain better financial conditions, the real benefits include expanding financing options, strengthening reputation, better relationships with banks and investors, and greater optionality. European banking regulation requires increasing integration of environmental risks in risk management, which means that companies prepared with robust sustainable finance structures will be easier to evaluate and will have access to a broader universe of financiers. The article concludes that the relevant question is no longer whether sustainable finance reduces costs, but whether it can improve access to capital, strengthen credibility, and prepare companies for the evolution of the financial market.

Chinese exports grow 25% in August

Chinese exports grew 25% in August year-on-year, reaching 401.44 billion dollars, driven by demand for technological products such as batteries and semiconductors, and by seasonal orders before Christmas, despite trade tensions and typhoons that caused delays at Shanghai ports. Imports increased 28.2%, raising the trade surplus to 119.09 billion dollars. The export sector benefited from the expansion of artificial intelligence and concerns about energy security, while sales to the US rose 34.4% and to ASEAN 30.21%. China's growing trade surplus, which reached a record 1.2 trillion dollars in 2025, has drawn criticism in the West, with the US Treasury Secretary classifying it as "unsustainable".
