Housing Bank
served as a platinum sponsor for the Green Finance Forum (GREEFIN Forum) 2026,
organized by the Association of Banks in Jordan under the theme,
“Public–Private Green Dialogue: A Strategic Tool for Reshaping Sustainability.”
Held under the patronage of Central Bank of Jordan Governor Dr. Adel
Al-Sharkas, the forum was attended on his behalf by Ziad Ghanma, Deputy
Governor of the Central Bank of Jordan.
The event brought together senior
figures from the banking and financial sectors, experts in green finance and
sustainability, and local and international decision-makers.
The
sponsorship reflects Housing Bank’s continued commitment to supporting
initiatives that foster dialogue and partnerships, helping create an enabling
environment for a stronger, more resilient, and sustainable economy.
It also
underscores the bank’s focus on strengthening the role of finance in
translating sustainability priorities into viable projects and investment
opportunities.
Housing
Bank’s sponsorship of the forum builds on its efforts to strengthen the banking
sector’s contribution to sustainable economic development by directing
financial resources toward priority projects and sectors.
These include
developing financing and risk assessment tools tailored to the needs of
sustainable projects, as well as strengthening partnerships with financial and
development institutions to broaden the range of available financing solutions.
As part of
this approach, Housing Bank continues to expand and diversify its sustainable
finance offering, including its green financing portfolio and the recently
issued Blue Bonds.
The bank is also developing partnerships with leading local
and international institutions to expand access to financing for sustainable
projects. In parallel, it continues to advance its environmental, social, and
governance (ESG) practices in line with the Central Bank of Jordan’s directives
and global best practices.
Held
annually, the Green Finance Forum serves as a platform for exchanging expertise
and perspectives on the latest developments, challenges, and opportunities in
green finance and sustainability.
The 2026 edition focused on strengthening the
role of finance in building economic resilience and accelerating the transition
toward a sustainable economy.
Discussions also explored ways to foster greater
alignment between the public and private sectors, channel investment toward
green opportunities, improve the readiness of green projects to access
financing, and develop financing solutions and partnerships that encourage
greater private sector participation in the transition.
