首批零售綠債目標發行額60億元 款項將撥入基本工程儲備基金
政府公布首次發行零售綠色債券,目標發行額60億元,模式延用通脹掛鉤債券(ibond)安排,浮息與通脹掛鉤、保底息率最少2厘,以較高者派息,年期3年,每手一萬元,3月1日開始供市民認購,認購期3月11日下午2點結束。匯豐銀行和中銀香港(02388.HK)為是次零售發行聯席安排行。債券最遲3月18日公布分配結果,3月22日正式發行,債券將於3月23日在聯交所上市。本次綠色零售債券發行籌集資金,將撥入基本工程儲備基金,用於環境效益項目融資或再融資。
財政司司長陳茂波表示,政府致力令本港債券市場豐富多元和有深度,並支持實體經濟發展,尤其是綠色經濟,亦希望市民可以參與,因此去年財政預算案提出發行綠色零售債券,達致深化市場發展等目標。
金管局副總裁劉應彬表示,配發機制和ibond一樣,採用循環遞增方法,滿足小額投資者的申請。對於疫情期間,多間銀行分行暫停營業,劉應彬指,以往透過電子渠道認購ibond的比例相當高,相信分行關閉不會對綠債銷情影響不會太大。
財經事務及庫務局局長許正宇表示,今次零售綠色債券是新事物,希望作出穩步開端,會視乎認購反應再考慮下一批綠色零售債券發行額,以及是否將發行綠色零售債券恆常化。他指,政府設立債券計劃目的是發展債券市場,不會將發行ibond所得款項支付政府開支,而是撥向外匯基金作投資,相比之下,政府會將綠債發行所得款項,用作可以推動可持續發展和環境效益項目。
中銀香港(02388.HK)個人數字金融產品部副總經理周國昌預計,香港通脹將會穩步上升,認購綠債人士未來回報率超過2厘的機會相當高,對這批綠債將能錄得8至10倍超額認購不感到意外。
