Resumen

This article examines the impact of green bonds on renewable energy generation and economic growth in Peru through an empirical analysis that incorporates robust econometric models, including OLS, GMM, and VAR, along with Johansen cointegration tests. Through these approaches, we assess the influence of green bonds on the energy sector, identifying how these financial instruments have boosted renewable energy projects and contributed to sustainable economic growth. The findings reveal a positive and significant relationship between green bonds and the expansion of renewable generation, further highlighting the crucial role of fiscal policies and regulatory frameworks in fostering these instruments. This analysis also identifies challenges, such as the need to strengthen institutional capacity and infrastructure to optimize the use of green bonds. This study provides a comprehensive perspective on the relevance of green bonds in the transition to a low-carbon economy in Peru, serving as a basis for future sustainable energy policies.
