Green Finance
202. To consolidate and enhance Hong Kong's status as an international green finance centre, the Government will continue issuing sustainable bonds, establishing an enabling regulatory environment and strengthening cross‑sectoral collaboration, including taking forward the implementation of the Hong Kong Sustainability Disclosure Standards. The Accounting and Financial Reporting Council is consulting the public on the proposed regulatory framework for assurance.
203. The HKMA has been refining the Hong Kong Taxonomy for Sustainable Finance to more effectively address the financing needs of relevant projects, thereby expediting low‑carbon transition in the region. It will also strive to develop green transition planning guidance for banks within this year.
204. We will support the exploration with the Mainland and international multilateral financial institutions of the establishment of a Hong Kong-based Green Technology Projects Accelerator. The Accelerator will provide incubation, acceleration, and empowerment services for green technology projects in B&R regions, and serve as an innovative demonstration of Hong Kong's green finance-related services. We will also explore facilitating financial institutions to obtain public utility usage data of enterprises with their consent to enhance the efficiency of green financing and risk assessment.
