They are more suitable as a stable portfolio base rather than a source of significant excess returns [4]. Summary by Directory 1. Green Bond Development 1.1 Green Bond Concept - Green bonds are securities that raise funds for green industries, projects, or economic activities. They are divided into four types according to the "China Green Bond Principles (2022)" and play an important role in global green finance [13]. 1.2 Policy Context - China's green bond market has established a relatively complete system. The development is divided into three stages: - Exploration and launch stage (2015): The People's Bank of China and the National Development and Reform Commission issued relevant documents, marking the official start of the green bond market [16][17]. - Standardization development stage (2016 - 2020): Multiple departments issued a series of policies to improve the regulatory mechanism, project catalog, and evaluation and certification mechanism [16][18]. - System improvement stage (2021 - present): Policies continued to be refined, the standard system was integrated with international standards, and cross - border green financing advanced steadily [16][25]. 2.

They are suitable as a stable portfolio base and can meet institutional ESG and sustainable investment goals. Their tradability has also improved [46]. 3. Green Bond Issuance Statistics 3.1 Green Asset - Backed Securities - Their issuance rhythm has different stages. From 2016 - 2018, it was in the start - up phase; 2019 - 2020 saw market expansion; 2021 entered the accelerated development stage; 2022 - 2023 maintained a high - level operation; 2024 - 2025 had a decline in scale.

Green Bond Stock and Transaction Analysis 4.1 Green Bond Stock Analysis - As of the end of 2025, the stock of green bonds was 2,014, with a market size of 2.464521 trillion yuan. Financial bonds accounted for nearly half of the stock, followed by medium - term notes and asset - backed securities.
