Bangkok, Monday 19 November 2018 – SEC will amend its regulations on information disclosure of green bond offering to promote investment and fund mobilization of enterprises that are environmentally concerned.
SEC intends to revise its regulations on
information disclosure of green bond offering for those who need to issue and
offer green bonds in compliance with international standards. Additional
information is required in the filing of debt instrument offering including use
of proceeds, process for project evaluation and selection, management of
proceeds, and reporting. Appointment of an external review provider to assess each step
of the bond offering and issuance is encouraged.
This regulatory revision was introduced to
align with the SEC’s strategic plan to promote investment and fund raising of
enterprises which are environmentally beneficial in
the following issues: (1) solutions to reduce pollution; (2) promotion of
biodiversity conservation; and (3) measures against the adverse effects of
climate change.
SEC disseminates the public hearing
document on this issue on SEC website: www.sec.or.th/hearing.
