In an effort to promote sustainable financing, BSP has invested in an Asian Green Bond fund.
MANILA, Philippines — The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has invested in the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) Asian Green Bond Fund (BISIP G3), which aims to help fund investments in green projects across the Asia-Pacific region, as part of its commitment to lead by example and redirect capital to address urgent global challenges.
BSP Governor Benjamin Diokno stated in a news release on Friday that the decision strengthens sustainability efforts and supports the sustainable central banking mission.
“The BSP’s involvement in the fund is projected to provide an additional source of return and investment diversification, keeping with our conservative approach to reserve management,” Diokno said.
In conjunction with development finance institutions and an advisory group comprised of various central banks, including the BSP, the BIS developed the Asian Green Bond Fund, a US dollar-denominated open-ended fund.
The fund provides a platform for central banks to invest their reserves in high-quality green bonds that satisfy internationally recognized standards, as well as supporting ecologically responsible projects in the Asia-Pacific area.
Previously, the BSP put USD550 million into the BIS USD Green Bond Fund (BISIP G1).
