Financial Services Association, November 27 (Reporter Peng Kefeng) To help the “dual-carbon” economy, the banking sector has no other responsibility.
On November 26, the Bank of Qingdao officially disclosed carbon emission reduction loan information for the third quarter of 2024 on its official website. According to the Bank of Qingdao, a carbon emission reduction loan of 198 million yuan was issued during the year, and the weighted average interest rate of the loan was 3.91%, which led to an annual carbon reduction of 87,208.81 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent.

A Financial Services Association reporter's inquiry found that judging from the situation of listed banks, the Bank of Qingdao should be the first A-share listed bank to disclose carbon emission reduction loan data for the third quarter during the year. Also, judging from past information, since the central bank implemented carbon emission reduction support tools, about 30 banks have now disclosed information on carbon reduction loans on a quarterly basis on their official websites.
However, it is worth noting that the disclosure period for carbon emission reduction loans from these banks is inconsistent.

Furthermore, ICBC only disclosed carbon emission reduction loan information for the second quarter of 2024 on October 10 of this year.
