CRDB Bank has listed its inaugural green bond, worth TZS 171.8 billion ($65.7 million), on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (LuxSE), marking the first time a Tanzanian commercial bank’s domestically issued green bond has been admitted to LuxSE and displayed on its sustainable finance platform, the Luxembourg Green Exchange (LGX).
The bond, named “Kijani” (Swahili for green), was oversubscribed by 429%. Proceeds will fund renewable energy, climate-smart agriculture, clean cooking energy, green buildings, sustainable transport, and water and sanitation systems across Tanzania. The move enhances CRDB’s access to global capital and reinforces its role as a sustainability leader in East and Central Africa.
