The Common Ground Taxonomy puts forward areas of commonality and differences between the EU and China's green taxonomies, providing a valuable tool to enable the comparability and interoperability of these taxonomies.

This year, the Spring Festival holiday arrived 11 days earlier than last year, thus impairing the comparability of industrial output figures between the two years, said NBS spokesman Mao Shengyong.

However, the lack of clear definitions in some markets and the lack of comparability of different definitions in different markets are barriers to future growth of the green finance market and green capital flows, said Ma Jun, special advisor to PBoC Governor and chairman of GFC.
