Synergy

<p style="text-align: justify">Raymond Yu, the CEO of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), announced plans for the Green Finance Week scheduled for February next year. The HKMA and the Government will collaborate to organize this event, which includes a global climate business forum with the International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank Group.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="globalizing-hong-kong-s-green-brand">Globalizing Hong Kong’s Green Brand</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify">The forum aims to bring together experts for discussions on the transition to green finance and to organize a roundtable meeting focused on blended finance with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).</p>

<p style="text-align: justify">Throughout the Green Finance Week, various financial institutions will host green finance events with the goal of elevating Hong Kong’s green brand on the global stage. HKMA envisions the week-long event to serve as a platform for meaningful discussions and initiatives, foreseeing a more “global” and robust identity for Hong Kong in the area of sustainable finance.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="tokenized-green-bonds-and-fintech-synergy">Tokenized Green Bonds and Fintech Synergy</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify">HKMA is preparing to launch its second tokenized green bond in the coming months. Highlighting the synergy between green finance and fintech, Yu pointed to <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/cipher-fan-a-detailed-analysis-and-airdrop-guide-for-the-latest-socialfi-platform-on-arbitrum/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Blockchain</a> <a href="https://newslinker.co/category/technology/" data-wpel-link="exclude" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">technology</a> for the redemption process. This underscores the operational efficiency potential of Blockchain. HKMA is also exploring the integration of Blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies into tokenized green bonds.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">This innovation aims to provide bondholders with transparent information about green investments, including project details, development progress, and environmental impact, and to reduce the risk of investments losing their green focus.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="exponential-growth-in-green-bonds-and-loans">Exponential Growth in Green Bonds and Loans</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify">Yu drew attention to the notable growth in Hong Kong’s green finance sector. Green bonds and loans have surged from 11 billion dollars two years ago to an impressive figure of 80 billion dollars, an increase of more than sevenfold.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">Despite this significant growth, Yu believes there is still considerable room for further expansion in the green finance sector and anticipates a continuous momentum in its development.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="what-are-green-bonds">What are Green Bonds?</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify">A brief look at the concept of “Green Bonds” reveals a direct connection with climate change. Green bonds are fixed-income securities issued by borrowers in the markets under conditions accepted in prospectuses to be used in projects aimed at preventing climate change and environmental issues.</p> <span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:16px">Continue Reading:</span> <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/hkma-sets-ambitious-step-towards-sustainable-finance/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://en.coin-turk.com/hkma-sets-ambitious-step-towards-sustainable-finance/</a>
