Hosted by Amec Foster Wheeler, this event is a discussion for underwriters and investors with SK Securities' Kwangyul Peck.

SK is South Korea's third largest industrial group after Samsung and Hyundai. Kwangyul is also an advisor to the Korea's Ministry of Strategy & Finance which manages the Korean Emissions Trading Scheme (the world's second biggest ETS with a carbon price of over $20 per ton).

Just today, Hanjin International Corporation announced a $300m green bond to be closed on Thursday, 28th. This June, the Korea Development Bank (KDB) also issued USD300m in green bonds, following Hyundai USD500m in March 2016, and KEXIM’s 2016 and 2013 green bonds.

President Moon's new administration is very supportive of green investments and is looking to put in place several policy measures to invigorate the growth of a South Korean green bond market, including increasing renewable power generation from 5% to 30%.
