Yi Gang, president of the People's BankDafeng, carbon neutralization requires the "carrot increase stick". Among them, carbon prices or carbon taxes are "big sticks", while the central bank's carbon emission reduction support tools are "carrots" in the incentive mechanism.
According to the surging news report, Yi Gang made the above expression on Wednesday (March 29) at the "Carbon Neutrality: Dilemma and Break" forum in the 2023 annual meeting of the Boao Forum for Asia.
When Yi Gang explained the form of "carrot", it was proposed that the central bank can provide re -loan to commercial banks with lower interest, and after receiving a re -loan, commercial banks must beSupport, at the same time, we must assume the obligation to disclose some information to the society.
Yi Gang pointed out that carbon emissions have a strong external nature. It is that carbon discharge people do not pay the price they should pay, so there should be a carbon price or carbon tax, and how to let others know that it is carbon discharge.It is what information disclosure needs to do.
Yi Gang said that the focus of the central bank's "carrot" supporting tools is to require commercial banks to disclose the carbon footprint, support rate, emission reduction and other related information, and accept the society and accept the society.The supervision of third -party institutions can increase the society's awareness of carbon peaks, carbon neutrality and urgency.He pointed out, "Only the whole society has participated, and ordinary people know that this supervision is effective."
Yi Gang introduced that there are two main categories of carbon emission reduction support tools launched by the People's Bank of China. OneIt is to support clean energy, energy conservation and environmental protection, and carbon emission reduction technology projects. The second is to support the cleaning and utilization of coal.He introduced that these two types of support tools were launched in November 2021. Last year was the first full year of implementing these two tools.
Yi Gang said that since the implementation of the two tools for more than a year, the central bank has actually supported more than 300 billion yuan (RMB, the same, the same, about 58 billion yuan) re -loan, and commercial banks have loaned out to go out to go out out.Nearly 600 billion loans support related projects.He emphasized that although the central bank's re -loan is low interest rates, it is also necessary to recover, so the risk is still borne by commercial banks. Such a "carrot" incentive mechanism is moderate and appropriate.
Introduction of Yi Gang.At first, 21 Chinese banks participated in related projects, and seven foreign banks later joined, and dozens of local commercial banks also joined. It also stated that the central bank provided by the project in this project.
Yi Gang said that in the full year of last year, the carbon emission reduction support tool drove the emission reduction equivalent to 100 million tons of carbon. "This is a good start. We continue to use such tools in the future.To motivate the entire financial industry to support carbon reduction. "
China proposed the goal of achieving carbon peaks in 2030 in 2020 and the achievement of carbon neutrality before 2060.
