China bonds get new tinge: green

Issuances to reach 300 billion yuan by year-end, the world's largest

China Three Gorges Corp's first corporate green bonds constituted the country's largest green bond issuance so far. Green financing has been growing fast in China of late, although it emerged only in recent years.

The company's issue, launched on Aug 26, comprised one tranche of 3.5 billion yuan, three-year term notes and one tranche of 1.5 billion yuan, 10-year term notes.
