The sustainable development market has increased by 27% in 2025. This is reported on the website of the Bank of Russia.
Since the beginning of this year, corporate bonds worth RUB 119 billion have been placed. The funds are allocated for the construction of infrastructure and the development of transport. By the end of 2025, it is planned to place several more bond issues worth up to 40 billion rubles. As a result, the volume of sustainable development bonds in circulation may reach 255 billion rubles by the beginning of 2026.
Earlier, the Central Bank expanded the scope of the risk-based incentive regulation program to cover the most priority sustainable development projects. The incentives apply to bonds and loans. Credit institutions can save capital when financing priority sustainable development projects: depending on the quality of the project, the reduction in risk weight will be 10-50%.
