China and Singapore Announced Collaboration for Low Carbon Emissions
The main Asian economies, China and Singapore, formed a task force to deepen cooperation in green and transition finance. The move aims to facilitate greater public-private partnerships for a low-carbon future in the region.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) announced that it is collaborating with the People’s Bank of China (PBC) to establish the China-Singapore Green Finance Task Force (GFTF). With the GFTF, the duo aims to develop a set of financial standards, products, technologies and definitions to reduce their carbon footprint.
Public-private sector participants from China and Singapore will “collaborate on concrete initiatives that will accelerate capital flows to support a reliable and inclusive transition for our countries to a low-carbon future.”
The GFTF will strengthen countries’ sustainable bond market connectivity, which includes two-way access to green and transitional bond products, and aims to facilitate the adoption of technology initiatives and sustainable finance.
