The Green Bonds Market The Green Bonds market has grown multiple folds over the past 5 years: Issuances totalled USD113.0 billion in 2017 compared to only USD1.8 billion in 2012. Initially, issuances were mainly from SSAs^ but in a short span of a few years, the market has seen a greater diversity of green bond issuers. Whilst issuers are steadily adding to the supply of green bonds, the growth in environmental, social and governance ( ESG ) investing is also, in tandem, driving demand for this asset class. According to Global Sustainable Investment Review s 2016 report, the field of ESG investing is estimated to encompass 26% of assets under management globally almost USD23 trillion. ^SSA Sovereign, Supranational and Government Agencies 2 Strictly Private & Confidential

Developing the Green Bond/Green Sukuk Framework The Republic of Indonesia s Green Bond and Green Sukuk Framework provides a robust structure for climate-aligned investment. The framework is aligned with ICMA s Green Bond Principles ( GBP ) and the ASEAN Green Bond Standards ( GBS ). The GBP are voluntary process guidelines for the issuance of Green Bonds/Sukuk that aim to promote integrity in the green capital markets through transparency in disclosure and reporting. While the GBP have provided broad principles on Green Bonds, the GBS aim to provide more specific guidance on how the GBP are to be applied across ASEAN. 1. Use of Proceeds Utilisation of the proceeds should be appropriately described in the legal documentation. All designated green projects should provide clear environmental benefits, which will be assessed and quantified by the issuer. Proceeds may be used for new financing or refinancing green projects 2. Process for Project Evaluation and Selection Issuers should clearly communicate to investors: Environmental sustainability objectives Process to determine the eligible projects Related eligibility criteria 3. Management of Proceeds The net proceeds should be credited to a sub- account, moved to a sub-portfolio or otherwise tracked by the issuer in an appropriate manner, and attested to by the issuer in a formal internal process 4. Reporting Issuers should make readily available, up to date information on use of proceeds to be renewed annually until full allocation, and as necessary thereafter in the event of material developments. The report should include a list of the projects to which proceeds have been allocated, and brief description of projects, amounts allocated and expected impact. ACMF is a forum which comprises capital market regulators from ASEAN countries whose primary task is to promote greater integration and connectivity of regional capital markets ICMA, which is a self-regulated organisation and association of participants in the capital markets, acts as the Secretary to the GBP 7 Strictly Private & Confidential
Developing the Green Bond/Green Sukuk Framework Key additional features of the Green Bond Standards: Eligible Issuers: The Issuer or issuance of the green bond must have a geographical or economic connection to ASEAN. Ineligible Projects: Fossil fuel power generation projects are excluded from the GBS. Continuous Accessibility to Information: Information in relation to the 4 core principles are required to be disclosed on publicly accessible website designated by the Issuer throughout the tenor of the ASEAN Green Bonds/Sukuk. Encourage More Frequent Reporting: In addition to annual reporting, Issuers are encouraged to provide more frequent periodic reporting. External Review: In line with GBP, the appointment of an external review is voluntary under the GBS. Nonetheless, the GBS require the external reviewer to have the relevant expertise and experience in the area which they are reviewing. External reviewers credentials and scope of review conducted must be made publicly accessible from a website designated by the Issuer throughout the tenor of the ASEAN Green Bonds/Sukuk. 8 Strictly Private & Confidential
