Promoting Capital Markets for a Sustainable and Inclusive Southeast Asia

This flyer highlights the achievements of ADB’s Green, Social, Sustainable, and Other Labeled (GSS+) Bonds Initiative, catalyzing over $3.5 billion in issuances to help address the funding gap for sustainable development in Southeast Asia. The program demonstrates how capital markets can support sovereign, municipal, and corporate issuers in raising funds through green, blue, social, and other thematic bonds. Real-world case studies featured in the flyer illustrate the practical applications and growing potential of sustainable finance to drive a more inclusive and climate-resilient future. The program is jointly implemented by the ASEAN Catalytic Green Finance Facility and the ASEAN+3 Asian Bond Markets Initiative.
