Market Summary
Size and Composition
The outstanding stock of local currency bonds in Hong Kong, China amounted to HKD2,266.0 billion (USD290.8 billion) at the end of the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2019, rising 0.07% quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q) and 1.8% year-on-year. The weak q-o-q growth was largely due to a 0.9% contraction in corporate bonds, which weighed on the 1.0% growth in government bonds. Government bonds accounted for 52.2% of the local currency bond total at the end of Q4 2019.
Corporate Bond Issuance
Corporate bond sales in Hong Kong, China continued to decline in Q4 2019, falling 18.9% q-o-q after a 12.1% q-o-q drop in the third quarter of 2019. Months of prolonged political protests and the ensuing economic recession curtailed appetite for corporate borrowing during the quarter.
