Over the past year governments around the world have taken unprecedented measures to support businesses and households in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. One overlooked part of this response has been the role of public banks, which have been mobilised across the world to combat the economic fallout from the pandemic. This resurgence of public banks at a time of Covid-19 offers opportunities for pushing forward with green and just transitions. But there will threats, too, as the costs of Covid-19 recovery emerge and the hopes that public banks will underwrite private investors’ green risks rise.
