China issued several legislative frameworks in relation to sustainable finance. The green bond catalogue issued by the People’s Bank of China in 2015 is often referred to as China’s taxonomy. China also issued a “Guiding catalogue for the green industry”, updated in 2019. For lending, the China Banking Regulatory Commission issued green credit guidelines, performance indicators and reporting forms.
