The Green Housing Finance Conference commenced with the opening remarks of JHF President Mr. Mouri.

Following the opening remarks, H.E. Mr. Ishibashi, Parliamentary Vice-Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Japan, delivered his welcoming remarks and urged more efforts to promote green housing finance in order to achieve carbon neutrality.

During the conference, professionals from diverse fields presented a wide range of topics, ranging from economic development and sustainable growth in Asia, the energy-efficient mortgage label in Europe, and Japan's comprehensive policies and initiatives to achieve carbon neutrality.

In the second half of that day, JHF chaired the ASMMA Annual Meeting and led the dialogue on the development of the secondary mortgage market in respective attendees' countries (Indonesia, Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Mongolia, Pakistan, Philippines, and Uzbekistan).
