新西兰提出“唤醒银行业”法案, 以阻止银行抵制企业讨论ESG议题。 New Zealand proposes "woke banking" bill to stop banks from boycotting businesses over ESG issues.

新西兰提议的“唤醒银行业”法案旨在防止银行根据环境、社会和治理标准拒绝向企业提供服务。 New Zealand's proposed "woke banking" bill aims to prevent banks from denying services to businesses based on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards. 虽然支持者认为这可以防止意识形态偏见,但批评者警告说,这可以阻止国际投资,增加金融风险,导致利率升高或银行破产。 While supporters argue this prevents ideological bias, critics warn it could deter international investment, increase financial risks, and lead to higher interest rates or bank failures. 该法案还可能损害储备银行的独立性和金融稳定。 The bill could also undermine the Reserve Bank's independence and financial stability.
