The main driver of this growth was the Bank of Russia's measures. The scope of the risk-based incentive regulation program was expanded to cover the highest-priority sustainable development projects.
The incentives apply to loans and bonds. Banks can now conserve capital when financing priority sustainable development projects: depending on the project's quality, the risk weight reduction will be 10–50%.
Since the beginning of 2025, corporate bond issues totaling 119 billion rubles have been issued. The proceeds are being used for infrastructure construction and transportation development. Several more registered issues totaling up to 40 billion rubles are expected to be placed by the end of 2025. As a result, the volume of sustainable development bonds in circulation could reach 255 billion rubles by the beginning of 2026.
