Canada Prices Seventh Green Bond Issue, Raising $2 Billion
The Department of Finance Canada announced in Ottawa on October 9 that the Government of Canada this week successfully priced its seventh issuance of Canadian-dollar-denominated green bonds, raising $2 billion in a new 10-year offering.
The department said the issue saw robust demand, with a final order book of over $3.6 billion and environmentally and socially responsible investors representing 44 per cent of buyers. Government of Canada green bond issuances support the growth of Canada's sustainable finance market by providing a sovereign benchmark for other issuers and high-quality green investment opportunities backed by Canada's AAA credit rating.
According to the department, green bonds unlock private capital to speed up projects such as green infrastructure and nature conservation, supporting economic growth, jobs and a cleaner, more resilient Canadian economy.
This week's offering increases the total amount of green bonds issued by the Government of Canada since March 2022 to $19.5 billion. Canada updated its Green Bond Framework in November 2023 to make certain nuclear expenditures eligible, and in April 2026 the government released the Green Bond Allocation and Impact Report 2024-25. The launch of this issuance was announced on October 7.
