Foreign investor interest in China's $20 trillion domestic bond market remains intact. While broader sentiment and the economic environment in the Mainland has been under stress for some time, and forward-looking macro signals still look mixed, the fixed income universe offers scope for growth and diversification – if credit selection is focused and thorough.
Demand has been fuelled by continued financial market liberalisation in Mainland China coupled with new schemes in Hong Kong. But more needs to be done to boost market access and liquidity, while at the same time managing risks and offering new hedging options.
From investment-grade government bonds, to local authority debt, to high-yield corporate issuance – where is the market headed from here? Which sectors will attract the lion’s share of capital? And what’s needed to take it to the next level?
FinanceAsia’s 6th annual China Fixed Income Summit will help answer these and other pressing questions. Hosted in Hong Kong, the event brings together leading issuers, offshore investors and other key market players to discuss and debate market trends, policy and economic outlooks, and investment implications.
This is an opportunity to be part of the conversation to create a roadmap for tomorrow’s fixed income landscape.
