This week’s offerings will add to the $15.5 billion of Canada green bonds issued since March 2022 under five previous transactions that issued bonds with maturities from 7 to 30 years. For this issuance, the government plans to issue a new 10-year green bond. This follows the October 2025 issuance of a new $1 billion 30-year bond and the $1.5 billion re-opening of the 7-year bond that was first issued in February 2025, both of which saw robust demand.

In June 2025, the government released the Green Bond Allocation and Impact Report 2023-24. Canada releases allocation and impact reports for investors and interested parties on an annual basis until full allocation of the net proceeds is achieved. These allocation reports detail the green eligible expenditures funded with the proceeds of each bond, while impact reports outline the environmental benefits of the expenditures and related social impacts where data is available.

Canada’s green bond program, launched in March 2022, is advancing Canada’s investments in clean growth, renewable energy, climate action, and environmental protection. Green bonds unlock private capital to speed up projects such as green infrastructure and nature conservation.

The government remains committed to regular green bond issuances. Projects funded by green bonds will grow Canada’s economy and create jobs across the country. Mobilizing capital through green bonds is an important tool of Canada’s strategy to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

The Government of Canada’s green bonds will meet demand from investors seeking green investment opportunities backed by Canada’s AAA credit rating, while contributing to the development of a stronger sustainable finance market both domestically and globally.

The value of the dollar’s net long position declined to $6.88 billion in the week ended March 8, from $7.45 billion the previous week.

The U.S. February jobs report last week showed a drop in wages overshadowed strong jobs growth, feeding views the Federal Reserve was in no hurry to hike interest rates. The dollar weakened, and its poor performance continued early this week as concerns about weak Chinese data spurred safe-haven demand for the yen and Swiss franc.

So far in March, the dollar index was down 2 percent, on track for its weakest monthly performance since last April.

In other currencies, investors pushed net long positions on the yen to their highest in eight years. Net long contracts on the yen rose to 64,333 this week, from 59,625 the week before.

Fears about a British exit from the EU and persistent concerns about the global economy have boosted the yen, a safe-haven currency that so far this year has gained 5.4 percent against the dollar.

Net shorts on the euro rose to the largest since early February. This week, net euro shorts rose to 71,907 contracts from 68,541 previously.

The Reuters calculation for the aggregate U.S. dollar position is derived from net positions of International Monetary Market speculators in the yen, euro, sterling, Swiss franc and Canadian and Australian dollars.
