Market Summary



Size and Composition

Local currency bonds outstanding in the People’s Republic of China grew 2.9% quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q) and 14.3% year-on-year (y-o-y) to reach CNY65.0 trillion (USD9.5 trillion) at the end of December. Growth mostly came from a rise in corporate bonds, which grew 5.3% q-o-q and 14.6% y-o-y. In contrast, government bond growth in the fourth quarter of 2018 slowed to 2.1% q-o-q from  6.3% q-o-q in the previous quarter as local governments substantially met their issuance targets for special bonds by the end of September. 

Corporate Bond Issuance

Total corporate bond issuance in the fourth quarter of 2018 reached CNY2.2 trillion, up 11.9% q-o-q as market sentiment improved over expectations that the United States Federal Reserve would become more dovish.
