Issue of Digital Bonds: How Issuers Can Tap the Digital Bond Grant Scheme in Hong Kong
As Hong Kong is positioning itself as a leading hub for tokenised and digital bond issuances, building on the HKSAR Government’s two landmark digital green bond offerings in 2023 and 2024 and on-going Project Evergreen work by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA).
