Recently, China’s Industrial Bank (CIB) successfully issued the second tranche of its 2025 green finance bonds in the national interbank market, with a total scale of RMB 20 billion, a 3-year term, and a coupon rate of 1.66%. Notably, this issuance marks CIB’s first use of the ChinaBond Blockchain System, effectively enhancing the transparency and efficiency of issuance information.
The ChinaBond Blockchain Issuance System was launched by the China Central Depository & Clearing Co., Ltd. (CCDC) and officially went live recently. As one of the first joint-stock commercial banks to adopt the system after its regular operation, CIB actively collaborated with CCDC during the issuance process, driving the digital transformation of the bond market and setting a positive example for the industry.
In recent years, CIB has upheld its “Technology-Driven Bank” strategy, continuously strengthening its information technology foundation and improving digital operations. By leveraging digital technology to enhance financial services, the bank has promoted incremental growth and quality improvement in technology finance and elderly care finance through digital finance, while optimizing and upgrading inclusive finance and green finance. In the field of green finance, CIB launched its “Dual-Carbon Management Platform,” which has created “carbon accounts” for 18,000 enterprises and 3.7 million individuals.
