LONDON (Reuters) – The Bank of England said on Friday it would accept new green gilts which will be issued by Britain’s government later this year as part of its asset purchase programme and for other collateral and monetary policy purposes.
Britain’s government has said it will issue at least 15 billion pounds ($20.6 billion) of new debt this financial year which is specifically designed to capitalise on investor demand for bonds whose proceeds are ring-fenced for environmental investments.
