Belt and Road Initiative & Bangladesh
10.1 Promises at the 2nd Belt and Road Forum
Green BRI
•
President Xi Jinping also added "We may launch green infrastructure projects,
make green investment and provide green financing to protect the Earth which we
all call home."
• The "Green Investment Principles (GIPs) for the Belt and Road" call for
environment-friendly, climate-resilient and socially-inclusive investments under
the new BRI projects.
Sustainable BRI
•
•
The Ministry of Finance of People's Republic of China had published a Debt
Sustainability Framework (DSF) for Participating Countries of the BRI in April
2019. BRI-DSF aims to promote economic and social development by ensuring
debt sustainability.
However, results of this initiative are yet to be observed. Countries are not bound
to use BRI-DSF since at present it is a voluntary policy tool. They are only
"encouraged to use this framework to conduct debt sustainability analysis and
manage debt risks".
