Jordan’s Sovereign Green Bond Framework Receives “Excellent” Second-Party Opinion

11/05/2026

Jordan’s Sovereign Green Bond Framework has received an “Excellent” alignment assessment from Sustainable Fitch through its Second-Party Opinion (SPO), confirming full alignment with the ICMA Green Bond Principles and the Loan Market Association (LMA), Loan Syndications and Trading Association (LSTA), and Asia Pacific Loan Market Association (APLMA) Green Loan Principles.

The framework supports Jordan’s transition toward a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy and aligns with national priorities under the Economic Modernization Vision, the Reform Matrix and climate action commitments.

The framework covers nine green use-of-proceeds categories, including renewable energy, energy efficiency, clean transportation, sustainable water management, climate change adaptation, green buildings, biodiversity, and pollution prevention and control. It also includes a clear exclusion list and commits to transparent allocation and impact reporting.

The Ministry of Finance led the development of the framework with support from the Reform Secretariat at the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation and World Bank experts, as part of broader efforts to strengthen sustainable finance and green growth reforms in Jordan.
