ING predicts a record-breaking year in sustainable finance issuance in the Asia-Pacific region (APAC) in 2025, with global issuance reaching $852 billion. The first quarter was marked by disruption and uncertainty, while the second quarter demonstrated resilience and adaptability with $432 billion of issuance. The region is emerging as a noteworthy participant in the global sustainable finance market, with strong issuance from corporates and financial institutions. Greater China is a significant driver, aligning with decarbonization goals and supported by the Green and Sustainable Finance Grant Scheme launched by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority. Green bonds remain a key contributor due to their volume and straightforward structure.
