中国债市对境外境外资金吸引力明显提升 - 2017年03月02日

WHEN Chinese officials talk about market deregulation, most people think of stocks. The relaxation of controls is also occurring in the interbank bond market, that opaque, somewhat esoteric zone where banks and financial institutions trade assets.

In February, China sent out signals that it would provide easier assess to Chinese bonds for foreign investors on the interbank market, paving the way for the inclusion of Chinese debt in major global bond indices.

The interbank market accounts for nearly 95 percent of China’s 63.8 trillion yuan (US$9.29 trillion) bond market, which has doubled in volume in the last three years.
