Ottawa could kick Canada's green bond market into high gear: Reuters
Canada could grow into a thriving market for climate friendly "green bonds" if the federal government meets a campaign pledge to turn to this type of financing, Reuters reported. Canada is preparing to spend more than $180 billion over 12 years to support infrastructure, including green infrastructure. Green bond issuance by the government could kick-start deals from the private sector and boost liquidity in the green bond market. This might reduce the cost of borrowing for environmental projects, given growing demand from socially responsible investors.
