The programme circular describes the features of and the terms and conditions which in general apply to the retail green bonds to be issued under the Government Sustainable Bond Programme* (retail green bonds). HKSAR Government may update or supplement the programme circular. You should read the programme circular together with all updates and supplements which HKSAR Government has published. HKSAR Government will publish an issue circular to specify the terms for each series of retail green bonds. The issue circular for a particular series of retail green bonds may vary and/or supplement the terms described in the programme circular for that series of retail green bonds. In that case, the variations and/or supplements described in the relevant issue circular apply, but only to that series of retail green bonds.
The Government will only publish electronic versions of the programme circular and issue circular, and will not provide printed copies of these two circulars for the offering of retail green bonds. You can view the electronic versions of the programme circular below and issue circular here.
