Aldo Romani

Aldo Romani graduated with honours from Bocconi. In 2007, he structured and brought to market the issuance with which the EIB inaugurated the green bonds market, of which the Bank is one of the largest issuers. Aldo is Head of Sustainable Finance at the Finance Directorate and represents the EIB on the EU Platform on Sustainable Finance and on the Executive Committee of the Green Bond Principles. In the former, he coordinates a working group on 'Transition Finance Instruments'; in the latter, a taskforce on 'Official Standards and the Green Bond Principles' which in June compared the GBPs and the European Green Bond Standard in an initial report. He supports the practical value of a gradual alignment with EU regulatory requirements on Taxonomy and EuGBS in the context of Commission Recommendation (EU) 2023/1425 on facilitating finance for the transition to a sustainable economy.
