The volume of corporate bond issues aimed at financing priority green and retrofit projects amounted to almost 60 billion rubles. This is largely related to the introduction of incentive regulation by the Bank of Russia.
In relation to such projects, the risk weights were reduced by 10–50% depending on their quality. Thus, it became profitable for banks to invest in the green economy. The incentives apply both to loans and to sustainable development bonds.
The funds raised will be directed towards financing the construction of energy-efficient residential buildings and the purchase of public transport powered by environmentally friendly energy sources.
