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.

Against this background, TMA is delighted to have invited guest speakers from HKMA to share with Members the content of the GSF Grant Scheme and a broader policy roadmap on green and sustainable finance.
