Why China’s new sovereign bond sale in Hong Kong is drawing global interest
Arriving hot on the heels of the city’s landmark China government bond futures rollout, the latest tranche reinforces Hong Kong's role as a super-connector.
Source excerpt
China’s Ministry of Finance is set to raise 15 billion yuan (US$2.22 billion) through a sovereign bond auction in Hong Kong, tapping international capital just days after the city launched a long-awaited tool designed to help global investors hedge against mainland bond market risks.
The sale marks the fourth tranche of Beijing’s 84 billion yuan sovereign bond programme for the year approved by the State Council, China’s cabinet.
The exact tenors and yields would be announced by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s Central Money Markets Unit, the finance ministry said.
Market watchers anticipate robust investor appetite, driven by a shortage of high-quality yuan-denominated assets and expectations that the currency will appreciate.
