<body>The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the HKSAR Government) completed an approximately HK$25 billion multi-tranche multi-currency green bond offering under the Government Sustainable Bond Programme (previously known as the Government Green Bond Programme). Crédit Agricole CIB acted as one of the joint global coordinators, joint bookrunners, joint lead managers and joint green structuring banks on all tranches denominated in Renminbi, US dollars, and Euro.  Notably, the issuance features the first ever 20-year and 30-year public offshore Renminbi (CNH) green bonds issued by the HKSAR Government, which is a breakthrough following its first 10-year CNH issuance in 2023. With the debut longest CNH offering, this transaction helps to extend the offshore Renminbi yield curve and enrich offshore Renminbi product offerings, which helps further promote Renminbi internationalisation.This is the eighth institutional green bond issuance by the HKSAR Government, including two digital green bond offerings in 2023 and 2024. Crédit Agricole CIB is honoured to be one of the only two banks mandated as the joint global coordinator and joint green structuring bank in all institutional green bond issuances by the HKSAR Government since 2019. The achievement reaffirms Crédit Agricole CIB’s market leadership in sustainable finance issuance in the Asia-Pacific market.
