中行创纪录发行30.3亿美元绿色债券
广州财经翻译公司：今年中国在绿色债券发行规模上引领世界，助推此类债券在2016年前七个月的全球发行量接近去年全年发行总量。
Bank of China has sold $3.03bn in new green bonds, the largest international issuance of its kind, as the country’s environmental woes help drive global sales of such debt.
中国银行(Bank of China)已发售30.3亿美元绿色债券，刷新此类债券的最大国际发行规模纪录。目前中国的环境问题正帮助推动这些债务的全球销售。广州财经翻译公司。
The issuance was the first to be made in three currencies — a $2.25bn tranche, a €500m tranche and one issued in New York totalling 1.5bn in offshore renminbi. It was also the first green bond offering from Asia to be made in Europe. The proceeds from green bonds must be used for approved projects deemed environmentally sound.
本次发行首次采用三种货币：一批22.5亿美元，一批5亿欧元，以及一批在纽约发行的共计15亿元离岸人民币的债券。这也是亚洲向欧洲发行的首只绿色债券。绿色债券所募资金必须用于被视为对环境无害的获批项目。
But the sale has also shown that China’s financial institutions were gearing up to meet the financing demands of large-scale environmental projects.
但此次债券发行也表明，中国金融机构正在积极行动，满足大型环保项目的融资需求。

In recent years, China has suffered some of the world’s most polluted skies. Residents increasingly protest on the streets against new factories they believe could pollute their living space.
近年中国出现了一些世界上最严重的空气污染。越来越多的居民走上街头抗议，反对建设他们认为可能污染其生存空间的新工厂。
Financial regulators have stepped up their supervision of polluters this year. This month China’s securities regulator said it would ban initial public offerings by companies that have recently broken environmental protection rules.
今年金融监管部门加强了对污染者的监督。本月中国证监会表示，将禁止近期违反环保法规的企业进行首次公开发行(IPO)。

China was targeting up to $46bn in green bond issuance this year, according to research from Bank of America Merrill Lynch. It has also approved more than Rmb100bn ($15bn) in bond sales that would go to environmental projects. Total global issuance could hit $80bn-$90bn, the bank said.
