  • Nigerian Stock Exchange-Luxembourg Stock Exchange Partnership Integral To Access Bank’s Proposed N15Bn Green Bond Cross Listing

    Date 11/02/2020

    The news of Access Bank’s proposed listing of its N15Bn Green Bond on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (LuxSE) has created some excitement in the fixed income market. This 15.50 percent fixed rate green bond with five-year maturity is the first-ever climate bonds standard certified corporate green bond to be issued in Africa, and was first listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) in 2019. If its application to the LuxSE is successful, it will be the first cross listing of a green bond born out of the partnership between the NSE and LuxSE.

  • Spontaneity And Order: Transparency, Accountability, And Fairness In Bank Supervision, Federal Reserve Vice Chair For Supervision Randal K. Quarles, At The Yale Law School, New Haven, Connecticut

    Date 11/02/2020

    It's a great pleasure to be with you today at Yale Law School to deliver this Dean's Lecture.

    I first arrived here at the Yale Law School on a sunny September afternoon almost 40 years ago, and I have a very clear memory of the first time I sat in this hall, not long after, to hear a lecture from a worthy public servant come to deliver wisdom to those who thought they might one day follow in his footsteps. It was Gene Rostow, former Dean of the Law School, former Under Secretary of State, then serving as head of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency in the Reagan Administration. I remember the impression of erudition and experience he conveyed. I remember the sense of tradition, sitting here in these wood-paneled surroundings, being addressed with respect on issues of consequence. There was a sense then, in the early 1980's—which turned out to be correct — that the Cold War could be reaching its climax, and widespread concern among the great and good in the country (not least among them the Yale Law School faculty) that the more aggressive stance of the Reaganites (not least among them Gene Rostow) greatly increased the odds of a miscalculation. And here was the man himself, patiently but boldly discussing the state of the world with a group of first-year law students. I remember that he referred more than once to Don Quixote, and this Brooklyn-born American pronounced it in the British way—Dun Quixit—which I found oddly both affected and endearing at the same time. And I remember absolutely nothing else of what he said. Not a word. Which puts me in a properly humble frame of mind for my own remarks today. You won't remember for very long anything I say here today, but I hope your time at the Law School gives you the same experience of patiently but boldly examining matters of consequence that I found to be the most valuable and lasting legacy of my own time here in New Haven.
