The report analyzes the 2024 Chinese GSS+ bond market, noting that while cumulative issuance has exceeded $500 billion, annual growth in 2024 slowed due to a decline in financial institution activity. Green bonds remain dominant, though social and sustainable bonds saw significant growth. The report highlights a gap between domestic issuance and international CBI standards, particularly in sustainability-linked bonds (SLBs), and examines the potential for GSS+ financing in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

  • Total CBI-defined GSS+ bond issuance in China for 2024 was 605.59 billion RMB ($84.6 billion), a 4% decrease from 2023. This decline was primarily driven by a 33% drop in issuance from financial institutions, though non-financial institution issuance surged by 136%.
  • Green bonds continue to dominate the Chinese market, accounting for 80% of cumulative CBI-defined issuance (3.2 trillion RMB or $442.4 billion). In 2024, low-carbon energy (52%) and low-carbon transport (30%) were the primary use-of-proceeds (UoP) categories.
  • Policy support in 2024 focused on enhancing transparency and expanding the scope of green finance, including the release of the 'Green and Low-Carbon Transition Industry Guidance Catalogue (2024 Edition)' and the 'People's Republic of China Green Sovereign Bond Framework' in February 2025.
