China Green Pledge Helps Boost Renewable-Energy Linked ETFs: FT


US ban on goods made in Xinjiang over forced labour concerns has hit imports of solar panels hard, which analysts say are on track to fall by nearly 25% in 2022.
The US government has been accused of pulling out all stops to protect US solar manufacturers from cheap panels made in China or other parts of Asia, as the US election gets closer (Next Era Energy image).

(AF) China’s pledge to shift towards a green future has been reflected in the performance of renewable-energy focused ETFs, which have beaten other themed strategies in the country this year, the Financial Times reported.

Among them E Fund Management’s E Fund CSI New Energy ETF gained 45.5% and China Asset Management’s ChinaAMC CSI New Energy ETF pulled in 44.6%, the report stated. China has pledged to be carbon free by 2060. Full story: Financial Times
