The bond issuance will be arranged  through HSBC Securities (Japan) Ltd. and will be sold throughout Japan  by more than 20 securities companies.<\/p>\n<p>The bond will have four tranches, one denominated in Australian  dollars, another in Turkish lira and two tranches in Brazilian real.  They will have tenors &#8212; the period to maturity &#8212; of between four and  seven years.The ADB is targeting $2 billion a year in clean energy  investments by 2013 to focus on wind, solar, water, geothermal and  biomass &#8212; plant matter such as sugarcane used to generate electricity.  It has invested more than $5 billion in clean energy since 2005.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\" style=\"position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 22px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden;\">ADB to Finance its Ambitious Multi Billion Clean Energy Fund by smarlty selling Multi-Currency Bonds to yield hungry Japanese<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asian Development Bank has made ambitious plans to Fund Clean Energy in Asia.It has already invested $5 Billion since 2005 and plans to increase it to<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[97,40],"tags":[272,755,1720,2256],"class_list":["post-1809","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-japan-asia-world-markets-world-markets","category-renewable-energy","tag-adb","tag-bond-market","tag-energy","tag-green"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1809"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1809\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
