Sri Lanka yesterday marked a milestone by ringing the trading bell for its first-ever green bond issuance at the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE), with DFCC Bank being the inaugural issuer.
More issuers are expected to follow as investor interest in sustainable finance continues to grow.
DFCC Bank, alongside the CSE, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Asian Development Bank (ADB) and other stakeholders, participated in the bell-ringing ceremony at the CSE floor to commemorate the listing of the first green bond issuance on the exchange.
