打破迷思:为什么中国的绿色债券市场比你想象的更规范?

 

中国的绿色债券正在快速增长,监管框架也在随之完善

 

我们最近留意到国际市场上对于中国绿色债券质量的一些关注和疑惑。

从更广的角度看,这些疑问不局限于中国绿色债券,而是涉及到所有的绿色债券,并且早在 2008 年企业绿色债券出现时就一直存在至今。正如气候债券倡议组织一直强调的,为了确保绿色债券市场的健全发展,监管与检查的过程是必要的。

除了投资者普遍关注的绿色债券质量、风险和回报之外,对于中国绿色债券市场,投资者是否还需要担忧其他问题呢?

 

对于绿色的不同定义  这是全球市场共同面对的问题

目前,不同市场存在着不同的绿色定义。

The world’s biggest market is growing, as are the regulatory frameworks around it. We take a closer look.

We've recently noticed that questions have been publicly raised as to the quality of Chinese green bonds.

This is in the wider context of there being questions about all green bonds – ever-present since the beginning of the corporate green bond market in 2008.

At Climate Bonds Initiative we preach that scrutiny is required in order for the market to maintain its integrity, it’s a healthy check procedure and plays a positive role in overall investment governance.

Is there anything additional to worry about with Chinese bonds beyond the usual investor considerations around quality, risk and returns?
