Having taken the world by storm, green bonds have now reached the shores of Southeast Asia.The basics of a green bond remain the same as any other regular bond. A bond is in effect, a promise between its issuer and the investor. The investor in purchasing the bond, lends that sum of money to the issuer. The investor should be paid back the full amount at the end of the bond maturity date, with interest payments being made at particular intervals during the tenure of the bond.
