These bonds are being issued as sustainability bonds (Note) in accordance with the “JICA Social/Sustainability Bond Framework” (announced on April 7, 2023), and the proceeds are scheduled to be allocated to the Agency’s concessional financing projects (excluding loans and investments in coal-fired power generation projects).
Please note that while these bonds are scheduled to be listed on the TOKYO PRO-BOND Market, they are Financial Investment Agency bonds that are exempt from the provisions of Chapter 2 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and do not qualify as private placements for qualified investors; therefore, they may be sold to all investors, including retail investors. There are no transfer restrictions, and the same rules apply to trading on the secondary market.
(Note) A sustainability bond is a bond issued to raise funds for projects that contribute to solving social and environmental issues. These bonds are eligible for SDG and ESG investing.
