Hong Kong is considering offering green bonds managed on distributed ledger technology, the latest step in the city’s efforts to become a digital-asset hub, following its first sale of similar notes earlier this year.
The government has hired HSBC Holdings Plc, Credit Agricole CIB, Bank of China (Hong Kong), Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (Asia) Ltd. and UBS Group AG to form a working group to explore the possibility of a multi-series fixed rate “digitally native” green bond issuance, according to people familiar with the matter.
