Growth in China’s green finance sector has accelerated over the past decade and balances now total about $6.8 trillion, according to a former adviser to the nation’s central bank.
The value of outstanding green financing — covering green bonds, loans, and equities — has jumped from around $1 trillion in 2015, said Ma Jun, founder and president of the Beijing-based Institute of Finance and Sustainability and a former member of the monetary policy committee of the People’s Bank of China.
“By far this is the largest green finance system in the world,” he said Wednesday, speaking at a United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative online event. Growth in the sector is likely to remain strong, according to Ma, who has led development of key policies. ///
