Hong Kong, with its clear and compelling advantages, is well-positioned to be a green finance hub, said Chief Executive Carrie Lam at an online symposium (Oct 23). The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government has been implementing measures for the city to offer the needed financial services and capture the available opportunities. These included the launch of Green Bond Grant Scheme and the establishment of the Hong Kong Green Finance Association in 2018, and the launch of the green bond issuance program in May 2019. Later this year, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will launch the Sustainable and Green Exchange as a first-of-its kind central hub in Asia for data and information on sustainable and green-finance investment.
