Bank green financial bonds show "three rises": doubled scale, diversified issuers, optimized costs.

Recently, Hangzhou Bank issued a 5 billion yuan green financial bond, with 40 billion yuan in fixed-rate bonds with a 3-year term at a coupon rate of 1.78%, and 10 billion yuan in floating-rate bonds with a 3-year term. This year, under the precise guidance of policies and market demand, the issuance of green financial bonds by the banking industry has entered the "fast lane", showing significant features of doubling in scale, diversification of issuers, and optimization of costs. Wind data shows that as of December 14, the banking industry has issued 68 green financial bonds this year, with a total issuance of over 530 billion yuan, an increase of 333.6 billion yuan compared to last year, an increase of over 186% from the same period last year. In terms of issuing entities, state-owned major banks continue to play a stabilizing role, joint-stock banks actively follow up, and regional small and medium-sized banks are entering the market at an accelerated pace, forming a development pattern of multiple entities participating together.
