To further promote the opening of China’s green bond market, and enhance the role of the Common Ground Taxonomy (CGT) in facilitating cross-border flows of green capital, the expert group convened by the Green Finance Committee (GFC) of China Society for Finance and Banking has undertaken the relabelling work for green bonds newly issued in China’s interbank market in October 2024 against the CGT.
4 green bonds supporting projects on climate mitigation have been newly identified as CGT-aligned, with a total scale of RMB 3.1 billion. Among these, 1 green bonds have already been aligned with the CGT during issuance. Each bond meets the specified technical requirements outlined in the Substantial Contribution Criteria of the CGT.
