Chinese corporations and financial institutions are the world’s top issuers of green bonds, which are debt instruments devoted to financing environmental projects.

The sale by BoC, China’s fourth largest bank by assets, consisted of dollar, euro and offshore renminbi tranches worth, respectively, $500m, €700m, and Rmb1bn. The sale generated $3.8bn worth of orders, with the euro tranche most in demand, according to BoC.
