Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Mozambique Stock Exchange (BVM) expects to see a first issue of \u2018green bonds\u2019 \u2013 aimed at financing investment in the sustainable economy \u2013 floated on the market as soon as the legislation for this purpose is approved, later this year, the institution\u2019s boss told Lusa on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that once the regulatory instruments are approved in 2024, we will have the first sustainable financing issue, and it will certainly be a green bond issue, because that is what we have been working on with one of the national financial institutions that showed an early interest in its materialisation in Mozambique,\u201d said chairman of BVM\u2019s board of directors, Salim Vala\u0301.<\/p>\n

The chairman said that the inclusion of sustainable finance products in the securities portfolio \u201cwill strengthen the improvement of Mozambique\u2019s position in international Capital Markets indices, such as the ABSA Finantial Markets Index (AFMI),\u201d among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe absence of this type of product has harmed Mozambique\u2019s position in these indices,\u201d he pointed out, acknowledging that the institution has been following the possibilities of issuing Sustainable Finance bonds \u201cvery closely\u201d, including the role taken on by various international institutions to \u201csupport the transition of African countries to green growth\u201d with such funding instruments.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe proceeds from these sustainable bond issues are intended to support the transition to a green economy in Africa, and will support the efforts of these entities in the areas of climate change mitigation and adaptation, the creation of sustainable infrastructure, the efficient and sustainable use of natural resources, forest and biodiversity conservation projects, among others,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to Vala\u0301, \u201csince 2022, BVM has been preparing proposals for a foundation document and a draft regulatory instrument for the launch of sustainable financing instruments, including green bonds [to finance investments in the green economy] and blue bonds [for the maritime economy], but also other types of special purpose bonds, such as social impact bonds,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mozambique still lacks regulations for these issues, such as on the bonds\u2019 characteristics and how they should be traded, in line with internationally accepted procedures, \u201cnamely from entities such as the International Capital Market Association (ICMA),\u201d Vala\u0301 noted, while stressing that it is already \u201cexchanging experiences\u201d with exchanges in neighbouring countries such as Tanzania, Botswana and South Africa, as well as with other Portuguese-language countries, Cabo Verde and Angola.<\/p>\n

Vala\u0301 stressed to Lusa that BVM is already \u201can investment alternative\u201d for ordinary people and that \u201cmany investors participate in the stock market\u201d in the country \u201calthough not yet at the level we\u2019d like.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2016 the number of investors registered with the Central de Valores Mobilia\u0301rios (CVM) was 6,495 and by the end of 2023 it is [estimated to have been] 25,451, an increase of 291.9%, which reflects the growing interest of citizens in investing in the capital market and the stock exchange,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He admitted that the launch of new technological services had brought the stock exchange \u201ccloser to investors, namely those that provide information on the market and companies\u201d and on listed securities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe BVM has sought to promote the creation of entities specialised in providing economic information to help investors make decisions about buying and selling securities,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

He also guaranteed that BVM is preparing to introduce a platform that will allow investors to buy and sell securities online, \u201cdigitally and not in person, through financial institutions and stockbrokers, but in a transparent way for investors and all those involved in the capital market ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n
