There are too many articles that list the reasons for investors to buy green bonds, but not enough arguments on why issuers should issue green bonds instead of regular bonds. Perhaps because green bonds can get buyers more easily than regular bonds, since many government and multilateral agencies have funds allocated for green financing? but green bonds, if properly issued, come with an undertaking to report its impact. Indeed, with green washing a concern now, the burden for reporting will get heavier. So, to promote green financing in developing countries like the Philippines, how do we make green bond issuing easier and attractive to induce local companies to formulate green projects is an important question.
