This marks the first time CDB has used online book-building to issue green financial bonds, effectively improving issuance efficiency and transparency. The projects involved in this green financial bond issuance were strictly selected according to the "Green Finance Supported Project Catalogue (2025 Edition)," with a green rating of G1 (the highest level). The funds raised will be primarily used for key areas such as green infrastructure upgrades, energy-saving and carbon-reducing industries, green and low-carbon energy transformation, and ecological protection, restoration, and utilization. This issuance represents a new attempt by CDB to optimize its bond issuance pricing mechanism and narrow the price gap between the primary and secondary markets, as well as a new exploration of empowering green and low-carbon financing through market-oriented methods.On September 4th, BNP Paribas economists stated in a report that the persistent energy price shock, coupled with the resilience of the Eurozone economy, suggests the European Central Bank (ECB) may raise interest rates once in September and once in December. Economists expect the ECB to raise rates next week, while potentially raising its economic growth and inflation forecasts, further supporting the case for tightening monetary policy. Continued high energy prices and a strong economy make a second round of effects more likely, although current signs are still limited. Economists indicated that policymakers will continue to view the risks to the inflation outlook as skewed to the upside.
