China’s green bond debut |
By Greg Ritchie China is preparing to launch its debut sovereign green bond at a time when the market is stuttering elsewhere, especially in the US where corporate deals have almost ground to a halt. Green bonds, which raise funds for environmentally-friendly projects, are perhaps finance’s most well-known product designed to accelerate the world’s climate transition. Global issuance mushroomed to around $700 billion last year, from just $41 billion a decade ago. Yet at the start of 2025, pockets of the market are showing signs of a slowdown. Issuances of green bonds from emerging economies, excluding China, have fallen by about a third to $8 billion in 2025, the slowest start to a year since 2022. |
A lot of green$830 millionThis is how much China’s government seeks to raise (6 billion yuan) from its inaugural sale of green bonds. |
Stepping up”This is a positive move by China. A clear signal to the market that China intends to stay committed to the green transition agenda despite the US backtracking.”Rose ChoyResearch director for Asia Pacific at the nonprofit Anthropocene Fixed Income Institute |
