What does the future of China's Bond Market hold? Where are the traders?
The Chinese interbank bond market is with a volume of RMB 69 trillion (EUR 9 tn) the world’s third-largest behind the US and Japan. Yet only 2% of Chinese bonds are foreign-owned.
2017 so far has seen several initiatives being launched to international the bond markets: the China Bond Connect launched in July as well as increasing issuance of Panda bonds by sovereign issuers.
Likewise, the inclusion of 99 Mainland Chinese A-shares into the MSCI indices has led to a greater internationalisation of the country’s equity markets.
At the European Chamber’s Financial Services Conference 2017, representatives of financial services firms, academics and debt capital markets practitioners will discuss current trends and possible futures for China’s bond markets.
