The EU Commission's Recovery Fund bond issuance programme is attracting a new global investor base, DG Budget Gert-Jan Koopman said today. Speaking at a Brussels conference, Koopman said. "Across the globe investors are looking at Europe from a new perspective."

"There's a lot of demand to diversify away from the dollar and our safe assets are very attractive from that point of view." Referring to Tuesday's first EU green bond issue under the Recovery Fund programme, Koopman said, "this is just the beginning of the process. There's massive interest in the markets for these bonds."
