Description
Episode 42 of China Economy with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna unpack the surprising surge in China's green bond issuance, which hit $100 billion in May 2026 — up 40% year-over-year. They explore how Beijing is using green finance to bypass trade friction, channel capital into solar and battery supply chains, and why foreign investors are piling in despite geopolitical risks. Specific data points include the yuan's stability around 6.77 per dollar, the trade-weighted dollar index at 120.1, and China's record export numbers. A sharp, grounded look at a quiet financial revolution.
