style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">framework (pdf)<\/a> seeks to attract investors to sustainable development and align the Saudi market with the International Capital Market Association\u2019s (ICMA)

environmental impact, such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, and pollution prevention;<\/li>\n<li><strong>A social debt instrument <\/strong>finances eligible social projects aimed at achieving positive social outcomes, including affordable basic infrastructure, access to essential services, and affordable housing;<\/li>\n<li><strong>A sustainability debt instrument <\/strong>financing eligible projects aimed at achieving both positive environmental and social impacts;<\/li>\n<li><strong>A sustainability-linked debt instrument<\/strong> has its classification tied to the

style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The requirements: <\/strong>Green, social, and sustainability bonds require clear use-of-proceeds disclosure,

style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> Several major retailers are currently in talks to sell to investment firms and companies <\/strong>after US President Donald Trump's trade war wreaked havoc on their valuations, writes <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/sustainability\/boards-policy-regulation\/retailers-pummeled-by-trumps-trade-war-entertain-more-take-private-offers-2025-05-27\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a>. The rapidly-changing tariff announcements left retailers in a limbo and unable to provide earnings guidance amid trade policy instability. Investment bankers think that we could soon see more retailers aggressively pursuing private deals if Trump does not lock down a clear trade policy soon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">(<strong>Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links <\/strong>to our background as well as external sources.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Going private is becoming an increasingly attractive option for retailers<\/strong>, as they will become more immune to the unpredictable fluctuations in the market. They can also shield their earnings because they will no longer have to answer to financial reporting requests and other regulatory restrictions. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Public retailers are not overplaying the impact of market turmoil.<\/strong> Shoe company Skechers, acquired earlier this month by 3G Capital, saw its market value dip to USD 7.4 bn in late April, down from USD 11.85 bn in January, one day before Trump announced tariffs against China. Like Sketchers, many retailers manufacture their goods overseas, making them more prone to downsides of tariff announcements.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Some retailers may find going private easier than others <\/strong>because a company structure drastically influences the signing of these agreements. Companies with a single investor or family companies like Skechers don\u2019t need a broad shareholder approval, meaning that public companies with a similar structure in the retail sector could go private sooner than we think.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>US tensions with China flared up again <\/strong>shortly after they cooled things off during recent talks in Geneva that led to monetary calming of global markets. The two countries struck a fragile truce to roll back tariffs for an initial period of 90 days. The US\u2019 repeated warnings to its companies to avoid using AI chips manufactured by China\u2019s Huawei provoked the ire of the Chinese who said that such warnings \u201cundermine\u201d the Geneva talks, casting doubts on whether the 90-day truce will continue its full course.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Asian markets are mixed in early trading this morning. <\/strong>Japan\u2019s Nikkei is looking at gains of 0.5% and the Kospi is up 1.8%. Meanwhile, both the Shanghai Composite and the Hang Seng are in the red, down 0.1% and 0.3%, respectively.<\/p>\n<div class='stock-ticker-panel'>\n<table class='table stock-ticker-table
