New Zealand issued $200M in A+ social bonds to fund over 2,000 affordable homes, backed by government support.
New Zealand has launched $200 million in A+ rated social bonds through the Community Housing Funding Agency, marking the country’s first domestic issuance of such bonds.
Backed by a $150 million government lending facility, the initiative aims to lower borrowing costs for community housing providers, enabling them to build over 2,000 social and affordable homes.
The move, supported by Housing Minister Chris Bishop, is intended to increase housing supply, improve access to capital for providers, and allow reinvestment into social programs.
