To support
green and sustainable bond issuance and lending to further enrich the green and
sustainable finance ecosystem in Hong Kong, a new Green and Sustainable Finance
Grant Scheme (GSF Grant Scheme) has been launched by the Hong Kong Monetary
Authority (HKMA) on 10 May 2021.
The GSF
Grant Scheme as announced in the 2021-22 Budget provides subsidy for eligible
bond issuers and loan borrowers to cover their expenses on bond issuance and
external review services. The Scheme will last for three years.
