Summary
The document outlines the framework for 'green panda bonds'—RMB-denominated bonds issued by overseas entities in mainland China for green projects. It details the regulatory landscape involving the PBoC, CSRC, and NDRC, and provides a four-step issuance process: preparation, application for approval, issuance, and continuous disclosure. As of October 2018, China's green bond market reached 60.9 billion USD, with renewable energy accounting for over 60% of supported projects. The guide highlights the role of domestic investors, particularly commercial banks (85% of bond trading), and the alignment of Chinese standards with international benchmarks like the Green Bond Principles and Climate Bonds Standard, while noting differences regarding fossil fuel power generation.
Key insights
- Since 2016, five green panda bonds have been issued with a total scale of 5.9 billion RMB (880 million USD), representing less than 1% of the total outstanding green bonds in China.
