Nasdaq Dubai has welcomed the world's first Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) partner-themed green bonds listing by the Bank of China (BOC). The bank issued two green bonds through its Dubai and Luxembourg branches, totalling USD 770 million. This listing has increased the total value of fixed income listed on Nasdaq Dubai to USD 119.39 billion. The proceeds from these bonds will be used to finance green projects in BRI partner countries, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Portugal, Austria, Bulgaria, and Poland. This issuance marks a significant milestone in sustainable financing and is the first funding initiative by a Chinese issuer focusing solely on green projects in the Middle East.
