摘要

The international bond markets have long been successful in mobilising both private and public capital at scale in the cause of driving economic growth. They offer issuers a flexible and diverse source of capital to satisfy the investment needs of a wide spectrum of investors, and allow funds to flow across borders to ensure that resources are allocated when and where they are most needed. Green bonds - a comparatively recent innovation in this long-established market - provide a mechanism to direct capital market funding towards sustainable economic development, often in the transport, energy and building sectors. Under the 'use of proceeds' concept, funds raised are used to finance (or refinance) specific green projects and assets.
