- Proposes encouraging sustainable issuance, simpler and proportionate reporting and tackling greenwashing.
- Spanish markets are growing despite the environment, but IPOs and retail participation remain pending.

Plain-language version
The head of the CNMV, Spain's market watchdog, spoke about sustainable bonds, loans that fund green or social projects. He says they are growing again in Europe in 2026 and calls for tackling greenwashing, which means passing something off as eco-friendly when it is not. He also wants more stock market listings and more small investors.
