First-half issuances reach US$34.3 billion amid strong demand from international investors in Europe and the US, HKMA official says
The sustainable debt market in Hong Kong recorded solid growth in the first half of the year, with estimated issuances rising 15 per cent to US$34.3 billion from a year earlier, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) said on Wednesday as the city prepared to host the second annual Green Week event.
Kenneth Hui, the authority’s executive director (external), said he hoped the momentum would extend to the second half, noting strong demand from international investors, particularly in Europe and the US.
“Following last year’s significant rise in green debt instruments, this positive trend has continued,” Hui said.
