Green Finance: Navigating the Future for Preferential Rates
Mr Dex Chen
Associate Partner
Ernst & Young
The Green Finance wave has swept across Asia. In June 2023 alone, we saw the launch of India's Green Deposits framework by the Reserve Bank India, and the largest green bond issued in Hong Kong at US$6 billion. Regulators worldwide have started requiring banks to assess and report on their climate-related risks.
The trickle-down effect could affect the creditworthiness of companies with high climate-related risks, resulting in higher borrowing costs. Join us to learn more about the window of opportunity to catch this wave, and accelerate your sustainability transformation before green finance becomes the norm.
