Hong Kong’s government is delaying the launch of its inaugural retail green bond due to the spread of coronavirus cases in the city.
The government postponed the subscription period and issuance of the bond in order to “avoid the social contact arising from the application process and reduce the risk of the spread of the disease,” according to a statement posted on Hong Kong’s government website on Saturday. The subscription period was originally scheduled for March 1 to 11.
