# Hong Kong’s MTR Corp sells record HK$18.8 billion in green bonds

The MTR Corporation has sold HK$18.8 billion (US$2.4 billion) in green bonds, the largest and the company’s first public bond issuance in the Hong Kong dollar market, in its latest efforts to diversify funding sources for a string of projects. The rail giant said on Wednesday that it sold five-year, 10-year and 30-year bonds, with the size of each tranche also representing the largest for their respective tenors to date. The overall order book of the issue exceeded HK$60 billion, or three times the total issue size, reflecting strong demand, the semi-privatised corporation said. The more than HK$8.3 billion five-year tranche, HK$7.5 billion 10-year tranche and HK$3 billion 30-year tranche were priced with coupons of 2.88 per cent, 3.30 per cent and 4.00 per cent respectively, the corporation said. The 30-year tranche appealed strongly to long-term institutional investors such as retirement fund managers, allowing citizens to support the city’s infrastructure development, it added. “The latest issuance is part of an ongoing, forward-looking financing strategy to leverage favourable market conditions in the capital markets to support the development of major railway infrastructure construction for Hong Kong’s future,” the MTR Corp’s CEO Jeny Yeung Mei-chun said. “Financial flexibility, together with the MTR Corporation’s long-standing prudent financial management and rigorous project management, will continue to guide us through our continuous efforts to implement the new projects.” The rail giant pointed out that proceeds from the issuance would support eligible green investments and advance future railway construction in the city. Green bonds are fixed-income financial products used to raise capital for environmentally sustainable infrastructure projects and business activities. Yeung added that upon completion, the new projects “will deliver an even more connected and low-carbon public transport service for Hong Kong, and at the same time create new growth drivers for the business, generating value for shareholders and all stakeholders”.
