September 16, 2026 (MLN): Pakistan has been recognized
at the 2026 APAC Climate Bonds Awards with the Pioneer Sustainable Sovereign
Panda Bond Issuer Award for its inaugural CNY1.75 billion Sustainable
Development Panda Bond issued in May 2026.
Khurram Schehzad, Advisor to the Finance Minister,
shared the development in a post on X, highlighting the recognition for
Pakistan’s landmark Panda Bond.
The three-year bond was priced at a 2.5% coupon and
attracted demand exceeding five times the issue size, opening access to a new
pool of institutional capital, diversifying Pakistan’s sovereign financing
sources and strengthening Pakistan-China financial ties.
The transaction was delivered through collaboration between
the Government of Pakistan, Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), Asian
Development Bank (ADB), Chinese authorities, financial advisers, underwriters
and market participants.
Proceeds from the bond are supporting green and socially
inclusive investments across water, energy and health.
The recognition marks another milestone in Pakistan’s access
to international capital markets, broadening its investor base, diversifying
financing sources and mobilizing capital for sustainable development.
