Government gives green light to green bonds
Demand for green finance in Vietnam was discussed by experts at the “Green bond market development and financial resource mobilization for green and sustainable growth” conference held in Ho Chi Minh City on September 30. To further promote the green bond market, the Ministry of Finance (MoF) said it is coordinating with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MoNRE) to complete the Prime Minister’s draft Decision on a green classification list. The MoF will also recommend that relevant authorities issue policies to increase incentives for green bonds.
