On September 4th, it was learned from the China Development Bank (CDB) that on September 3rd, CDB successfully issued RMB 5 billion of 3-year green financial bonds through the China Foreign Exchange Trading Centers issuance system at the Shanghai Clearing House, with an issuance interest rate of 1.27%. This marks the first time CDB has used online book-building to issue green financial bonds, effectively improving issuance efficiency and transparency. The projects involved in this green financial bond issuance were strictly selected according to the "Green Finance Supported Project Catalogue (2025 Edition)," with a green rating of G1 (the highest level). The funds raised will be primarily used for key areas such as green infrastructure upgrades, energy-saving and carbon-reducing industries, green and low-carbon energy transformation, and ecological protection, restoration, and utilization. This issuance represents a new attempt by CDB to optimize its bond issuance pricing mechanism and narrow the price gap between the primary and secondary markets, as well as a new exploration of empowering green and low-carbon financing through market-oriented methods.On September 4th, BNP Paribas economists stated in a report that the persistent energy price shock, coupled with the resilience of the Eurozone economy, suggests the European Central Bank (ECB) may raise interest rates once in September and once in December.

Continued high energy prices and a strong economy make a second round of effects more likely, although current signs are still limited. Economists indicated that policymakers will continue to view the risks to the inflation outlook as skewed to the upside.According to The Times, British Prime Minister Burnham will approve the new Jack Road gas field project in the North Sea in late September.On September 4th, the Wuhan Municipal Housing and Urban Renewal Bureau, in conjunction with several other departments, issued a "Notice on Further Optimizing Real Estate Policies and Measures in Wuhan," relaxing the frequency of withdrawals from housing provident funds to repay personal commercial housing loans for first-time homebuyers.
