The President of the People's Bank of China Yi Gang said on Saturday (February 4), saying that at present, the carbon emission reduction support tools will issue more than 300 billion yuan (RMB, the same below, about S $ 600), support business to support businessThe bank issued more than 510 billion yuan in carbon emission reduction loans, and in 2022, the carbon reduction of over 100 million tons of carbon dioxide was driven.
According to a press release issued by the People's Bank of China, Yi Gang gave a speech at the launching ceremony of the National Green Exchange in Beijing's sub -center.And major strategic decisions and make a "30/60" goal commitment to the international community.This will have a great impact on everyone's production lifestyle.
Yi Gang said that the connotation of turning to green and low -carbon is very rich, and concentrated at one point is to reduce carbon emissions.In this process, there are two main functions that the green exchange can play: First, the carbon discharge is external, and the carbon discharge enterprise and users do not pay the cost of carbon. ThereforeThe units with more carbon are profitable at their own low cost, but have caused negative externality to the entire society and the public.In the future, the Green Stock Exchange is to gradually internalize the negative externality so that the carbon pricing will gradually approach their social costs. Who will bear the cost of carbon discharge.At the same time, through strengthening the requirements of information disclosure, let the society know who the carbon is ranked and accepted the public supervision of the public, this is an important aspect of green transformation.
The second is to steadily reduce the green premium.Green energy and green production and lifestyle -related technologies have developed very fast, and the cost has dropped rapidly, but in general, the cost of green energy is still higher than traditional energy, and the higher part is the green premium.Green finance and green technology should gradually reduce the green premium, so that enterprises and families are willing to choose green energy to make everyone feel cheap and consciously use in terms of cost.Therefore, the central bank's launch of the Green Stock Exchange to promote green transformation, although the work is complicated, it is of great significance.
Yi Gang also said that in 2021, the People's Bank of China launched a carbon emission reduction support tool in accordance with the principles of marketization, providing companies in the three areas of clean energy, energy conservation and environmental protection, and carbon reduction technology.loan.For example, the People's Bank of China provides funds to financial institutions at a interest rate of 1.75%, with a reasonable period and a discount on interest rates.However, financial institutions that accept the central bank's low -cost funds must promise to disclose information such as the balance, interest rate, and corresponding carbon reduction effect of carbon emission reduction loans, and accept the verification and social supervision of third -party independent institutions.This is of positive significance for guiding the concept of green, transforming economic subjects, and promoting carbon nuclear calculations and environmental information disclosure.At present, carbon emission reduction support tools issue more than 300 billion yuan in re -loans, support commercial banks to issue more than 510 billion yuan in carbon emission reduction loans, and drive carbon reduction more than 100 million tons of carbon dioxide in 2022.
Yi Gang mentioned that the central bank also actively carried out green financial international cooperation to serve as co -chairman of the G20 Sustainable Financial Working Group to take the lead in formulating the G20 transformation financial framework.Through the adoption, it has become a guidelines for developing green finance and promoting low -carbon transformation.The People's Bank of China has always supported the implementation of the green Beijing strategy in Beijing. Many indicators of green finance and green transformation in Beijing are leading in the country.As of the end of 2022, the balance of green loans of domestic and foreign currencies in Beijing was 1.5 trillion yuan; non -financial enterprises issued a total of over 190 billion yuan in green bonds, ranking first in the country.
Yi Gang pointed out that in the next step, the People's Bank of China will continue to support Beijing's green financial reform and innovation as always to build a global green trading market for the world.China's carbon market has a broad prospect, especially the national voluntary emission reduction trading market has great potential.The central bank will support the Beijing Green Exchange to develop a country to regulate the voluntary reduction (CCER) transaction, innovate more carbon financial products, better serve the carbon market participation entities, promote the reduction of green premiums, and play a greater play in leading the development of green transformation and developmenteffect.
