Green curve is an abbreviation for green ''yield curve''.


A green curve describes the prices of green securities trading in the secondary market, differentiated by their maturities.
A time period used in evaluating performance over time.


For example, LTM unit sales, sales revenue, profit measure or profitability ratio.


The difference in yield between the green yield curve and the comparable conventional yield curve is known as the "green premium" or ''greenium''.


Many smaller bodies report annual figures, only once per year.

Often for larger organisations, each time relevant figures are available for investors, it will be when the firm reports - often quarterly or half-yearly.

:The structure will show investors the exact cost of going green. Until now, gauging the green premium meant examining an issuer’s regular yield curve to gauge where a hypothetical conventional bond identical to the green bond in question might trade.
Also known as ''Trailing'' Twelve Months (TTM).


:'For the first time, we will be able to exactly see what the (green) premium looks like without having to do any maths, except for a simple "minus" calculation, one yield minus the other,' said Christoph Rieger, head of rates and credit research at Commerzbank in Frankfurt...


:... accurately gauging relative issuance costs should convince more borrowers of the financial benefits of going green, said Piet Christiansen, chief strategist at Danske Bank in Copenhagen.

:So Germany’s structuring of this issue could well be key in drawing more borrowers to the green market.
:'When Germany will (create) a green curve, then this is what we will price the green projects off of. So it is really that there will be a benchmark of where green pricing will be, going forward,' Danske’s Christiansen said."

The size of the green premium (greenium) - and even the rationale for its existence - are subject to some debate, as discussed here by the Climate Bonds Initiative.

:There is no reason why a bond being green should impact its price, since green bonds rank pari-passu (on equal footing) with bonds of the same payment rank and issuer.

Last Twelve Months.


A time period used in evaluating performance over time.

For example, LTM unit sales, sales revenue, profit measure or profitability ratio.


Many smaller bodies report annual figures, only once per year.

Often for larger organisations, each time relevant figures are available for investors, it will be when the firm reports - often quarterly or half-yearly.

Within an organisation, commonly monthly accounts are produced, but some matters - unit sales, injury-causing accidents, for example - will be reported on more frequently.

As well as use in performance evaluation, LTM figures can also be useful in detecting irregularities such as fraud, false accounting, etc.


LTM figures are sometimes referred to as "moving annual" or "rolling annual" figures and may, for example, be expressed as "moving annual total" (abbreviated to MAT).


Also known as Trailing Twelve Months (TTM).
