As the growing demand for financing a global transition into green economies gathers pace, green bonds have become a source of significant growth within the global bond market and their gross issuance continues to rise. In support of the development of green finance and green bonds in Hong Kong, HKGFA established the WG to facilitate the communication within the green bond community in Hong Kong, to encourage green bond issuances in the capital market and sustainable investment, as well as to promote and maintain Hong Kong as the green finance center. The WG is co-chaired by Ricco Zhang of International Capital Market Association and Olivier Ménard of Natixis.
