DALIAN, June 26 (China Economic Net)-At the 15th Annual Meeting of the New Champions, Ma Jun, Director of the Green Finance Committee at the China Society for Finance and Banking, shared insights on promoting green and low-carbon development in developing countries.

 

"Projects under The initiative to jointly build the Belt and Road requires support from green finance the initiative to jointly build the Belt and Road require support from green finance," Ma Jun emphasized. He pointed out that China boasts a 30 trillion RMB green loan market, facilitating rapid developments in sectors such as new energy vehicles and batteries. While related industries are similarly advancing in Belt and Road countries, many of these are low-income developing nations lacking infrastructure construction capabilities, mature green bond markets, capital markets, and green disclosure standards necessary for fostering local green finance systems. Therefore, international resources are essential to assist these countries, with China having helped over the past two years in aiding the development of developing countries.

 

Ma Jun highlighted that China's green finance sector is rapidly evolving, supporting the growth of renewable industries and contributing to global development. For instance, a significant portion of the production and consumption in the electric vehicle and battery industries occurs in China, leveraging cost reductions, economies of scale, and innovation. Thus, global collaboration is crucial to benefiting from China's competitively priced green products.

 

"Accelerating the green and low-carbon transition is particularly beneficial to the global economy, especially emerging markets," Ma Jun asserted. In addition to trade cooperation, Chinese enterprises are establishing joint ventures with some developing countries, reducing costs while introducing new technologies that promote local employment and economic development.
