餘偉文:要求銀行業在2023年前按框架作氣候變化披露 明年發零售綠債冀增參與度
阿思達克 10-20 14:24
金管局總裁餘偉文表示,應對氣候變化是全球共識,各國政府都積極推動可持續發展的方法,特別是亞洲地區,擁非常龐大的人口和經濟規模、沿海地區多,所以受影響不少。金融業應把風險轉化綠色金融機遇,未來三十年,亞洲地區需要6萬億元氣候投資,纔可達至全球暖化1.5度的目標,故香港作爲國際金融中心,理應以此作爲切入點,推動低碳、綠色經濟,發展綠色經濟市場。 他表示,金管局將鼓勵及要求銀行提高可抵禦氣候風險的能力,以及提升透明度,包括要求銀行業要做有關氣候變化試驗計劃的壓力測試,建立氣候風險的內部能力,同時對外要做好信息披露,令投資者令可更準確評估企業項目和價值。 他指出,金管局已與其他金融業的監管機構聯手組織小組,推動金融業不同範疇,在2023年前按G20氣候相關財務披露工作小組(TCFD)發出之框架,作氣候變化披露,甚至較G20要的2025年前更進取,港交所(00388.HK)亦有編寫實驗指南,要求企業跟隨作披露,在中歐共用制定的綠色目錄推出後,香港亦會立即推行,希望達至與國際一致的標準。 餘偉文希望可以創造市場配套推動金融市場變綠色。發展綠色市場方面,有數據、人才、成本挑戰,數據方面正統籌監管機構和相關部門、銀行、學術機構等,共同分享以加強協同;而政府亦致力補貼合資格有意發綠債發行人的部分成本。 他又指出,希望可以加強市場相關的認知和參與,外國基金普遍對ESG有很大的重視程度,在2020年全球互惠基金、ETF在相關的投資達3,600億美元,按年增長約一倍,今年亦見倍增,外匯基金管理人亦身體力行,會優先選擇具ESG概念的投資,政府明年初亦冀透過發行零售綠債,以豐富香港綠色金融生態,及提升市民的參與度。
