Hong Kong will continue promoting sustainable finance to attract capital for green projects in the city, Mainland China, and Asia, according to Under Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Joseph Chan Ho-lim, who noted the government has issued nearly USD28bn in green bonds since 2019. Speaking at the Asian Financial Forum, Jin Liqun, president of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, stressed that future infrastructure investments must prioritise sustainability by incorporating green technologies in design, construction, and maintenance while balancing environmental goals with improving livelihoods. These efforts align with global initiatives to reduce emissions and foster economic growth, reinforcing Hong Kong’s position as a regional hub for green finance.
