Hong Kong explores digitally native green bonds using blockchain technology

Hong Kong is venturing into the realm of distributed ledger technology (DLT) by contemplating the launch of green bonds managed through this system. This step marks the city’s progressive stride towards establishing itself as a digital asset hub, following its initial foray into a similar sale of notes earlier this year.

To delve into this arena further, the government has engaged a consortium consisting of HSBC Holdings Plc, Credit Agricole CIB, Bank of China (Hong Kong), Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (Asia) Ltd., and UBS Group AG.
