HKSAR Government releases Green Bond Report 2023

The Hong Kong government has issued a press statement to inform of the publication of its Green Bond Report 2023.

The report thereby describes
– the government’s green bond program and other initiatives to foster sustainable finance in Hong Kong;
– the green bond framework and its scope including the criteria for eligible investments;
– details on the most recent issues of green bonds in January 2023 and June 2023 and the issue of tokenised green bonds in February 2023;
– details on the use of the proceeds from the issuances; and
– details on the assumed environmental benefits of the invested projects.
