<body>The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government's groundbreaking third digital green bond offering was priced on 10 November 2025, worthing approximately HK$10 billion across four currencies under its Global Medium Term Note Programme. Proceeds will be used for funding eligible projects, under the Government Sustainable Bond Programme, that will provide environmental benefits and support the sustainable development of Hong Kong.The multi-currency issuance comprised tranches in Hong Kong dollars, Renminbi, US dollars, and Euro. With further expansion in size, tenor and participation, it attracted strong demand from a diverse base of institutional investors worldwide, including many first-time digital bond investors. The transaction builds on the success of previous digital bond issuances in <a @href="https://www.ca-cib.com/en/news/hong-kong-sar-issues-worlds-first-government-issued-tokenised-green-bond">2023</a> and <a @href="https://www.ca-cib.com/en/news/hong-kong-sar-government-issues-worlds-first-multi-currency-digital-green-bond">2024</a>, while introducing several breakthrough features, representing a significant evolution in digital capital markets. It lays the foundation for future integration with other forms of digital money, fostering interoperability and unlocking new synergies across different digital infrastructures.The issuance also marks the first digital bond offering globally to integrate tokenised central bank money - e-CNY and e-HKD - in the settlement process, alongside traditional rails, helping further reduce settlement time, costs and counterparty credit risk.Crédit Agricole CIB has assumed a lead role acting as joint global coordinator, joint bookrunner, joint lead manager, and joint green and sustainable bond structuring bank in this transaction.

<body>Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not a new topic for discussion. However, there is a pivotal step that many have missed before the evolution really began – how will our infrastructure enable this next big step of digital evolution?To put it simply, data centres are buildings that host all the information you process online, from questions you ask AI to cloud storage. To provide the complex computing power and storage functionalities required to train and deliver AI, we need a data centre network as a backbone for the rapidly evolving digital economy.That brings us to the next question – how are we going to facilitate the exponential growth of AI and the digital economy, which is entirely reliant on data centres? This growth in data centre demand will require a substantial volume of capital investment for the buildout.<a @href="Q1">Q1</a><subtitle-block>Funding data centre buildout</subtitle-block>Gathering billions of funding within a relatively short period of time is not a straightforward process – it requires specially designed solutions and access to a variety of credit and debt financing sources including project finance, securitisation and private credit, to accumulate sufficient investment. Banks play a critical role in this complicated process – they can help tailor suitable financing structures and tap the right liquidity pools, such as seeking funds from private debt providers or issuing credit facilities themselves, and line up independent credit rating and legal reviews for funding.One of the most successful data centre companies that has been able to secure capital from the bank market is Australian-founded AirTrunk. The company has the largest hyperscale centre platform in Asia-Pacific and Japan (excluding mainland China). To date, AirTrunk has raised over A$6 billion in ESG financing, making it one of the largest issuers of sustainable financing in the global data centre industry.Data centres around the world are looking to decarbonise their emissions while expanding to cater to global demand.

This will help them to promote their innovative services in France, which have already been successfully tested in Italy, and reinforce their expertise in the domain of public financing for innovation and sustainable development. Crédit Agricole CIB acted as M&A advisor, and both Crédit Agricole CIB and Crédit Agricole Italia acted as global coordinators in the arrangement of a syndicated loan of €220m intended to finance this acquisition. This transaction is yet another example of Crédit Agricole Italia and Crédit Agricole CIB’s ability to grow synergies for the benefit of Crédit Agricole Group clients in Italy and reinforce their ambition to develop the France-Italy corridor, which is at the heart of the mid-cap strategy of Crédit Agricole CIB’s Italian branch.(*) Created in 2016 and based on the knowledge sharing and expertise between Crédit Agricole Italia and Crédit Agricole CIB, the “ITACA - ITAlian Corporate Ambition” project aims to promote and facilitate synergies in the Large Corporate segment.
