20th April 2026 | Hong Kong
Hong Kong Institute for Monetary and Financial Research (HKIMR) has released an applied research report on Transition Finance covering initiatives, taxonomies (classification), collaborations (public, private & multilateral), best practices, developments, opportunities & ecosystem. Announcement (17/4/26): “The Hong Kong Institute for Monetary and Financial Research (HKIMR), the research arm of the Hong Kong Academy of Finance (AoF), today (17 April) released a new Applied Research report, titled “Navigating the Green Shift: Opportunities and the Evolving Landscape of Transition Finance”. The report reviews the global transition finance landscape, examining the importance of multistakeholder collaborations and international best practices in preventing greenwashing and maintaining transparency. Based on a survey and in-depth interviews commissioned by the HKIMR, the study captures insights from a diverse range of global stakeholders—including financial institutions and multilateral organisations—offering a detailed analysis of the current state, emerging trends, and future trajectory of the international transition finance ecosystem. The study reveals a clear momentum in transition finance, with 60% of survey respondents already either active in or exploring transition finance developments. Among a diverse range of financial instruments, equity and fund investments as well as debt instruments were the most commonly used tools to channel capital towards transition projects. As the ecosystem progressively matures, a gradual shift towards more specialised instruments is anticipated. Respondents further observed that collaborative models, including blended finance approaches, can draw in private capital by enhancing the risk-return profiles of investments in transition projects. The study also indicates that market outlook is cautiously optimistic, with 74% of respondents anticipating a stable or growing global transition finance market over the next three years. Positive sentiment is most pronounced in the Asia-Pacific region, where 91% of respondents expected stability or growth. Finally, the study outlines several considerations, including maintaining a high level of regulatory and policy clarity, and deepening regional collaborations, to support the development of a vibrant transition finance ecosystem in Hong Kong. The report is available on the AoF/HKIMR website.”
