Анотація

The article is aimed at studying some aspects of the use of «green» investments in financing the ecological modernization of national economies of the European Union countries. Different views of researchers on the definition of the concept of «ecological modernization» are systematized. It is defined that economic instruments of stimulation of «ecological modernization» are considered as both instruments of the State regulation (ecological taxes and privileges, payments for pollution, fines, accelerated amortization, subsidies, grants, government programs) and market instruments (trade in licenses, pollution quotas, «green» bonds). The current status of the use of funds received from the issue of «green» bonds in France and Germany, which are the leaders in the market of «green» bonds of the EU, is analyzed. It is determined that most of the funds from the issue of «green» bonds are supplied to the clean transport projects in case of France and to renewable energy in case of Germany.
