Dear Working Group member,
As China is making efforts to transform its economic growth pattern into a more sustainable, green and low-carbon model, a green financial system is likely to be established to stimulate green investment through a full array of financial products and services.
President Xi Jinping endorsed green finance once again in the context of the 19th Party Congress in October 2017. While China’s commitment towards green bonds is rapidly growing, many questions still remain unanswered. Will foreign investors enjoy a level playing field in accessing green finance in China? What range of projects will be financed in this context? Are there any concrete opportunities for European companies in China?
These, and other issues, will be discussed at the next joint WG meeting on 10 January 2018, h 16:00, with Mr Paul Davies, Partner in the London office of Latham and Watkins LLP.
Agenda:
16:00-16:10, Opening remarks
16:10 – 16:50, Presentation on green financing by Mr Paul Davies, Partner in the London office of Latham and Watkins LLP
16:50 – 17:30, Q&A session
As usual, we welcome your suggestions for possible agenda topics and speakers for this and future meetings.
Please, in order to attend the meeting, do not forget to register.
