China markets debut yuan green bonds in Canada
China's Ministry of Finance began marketing yuan-denominated green sovereign bonds in Canada on Monday for the first time, with initial price guidance of around 1.8 percent on three-year notes and 1.9 percent on five-year notes, Bloomberg reported.
Why it matters: A debut Canadian sale extends China's offshore sovereign issuance into a new North American investor base as ties between Beijing and Ottawa warm, and gives Canadian buyers direct access to yuan green paper from the Chinese state.
