The blue finance guidelines are based on SDG 6, SDG 7, SDG 9, SDG 12, SDG 14, SDG 15. Investment projects that meet the requirements of blue financing and blue Economies are well-suited for bond financing, as many require large amounts of initial capital with long-term and stable returns over time. Blue bonds are a targeted instrument to provide capital for blue economy- related projects and companies that plan to make a significant contribution to the achievement of the SDGs.
