Movements in Hong Kong, China's local currency (LCY) bond market yields were mixed between 31 August and 30 October. Yields fell at the shorter-end of the yield curve as bonds with maturities of 3 years or less shed an average of 6 basis points (bps). Yields rose at the longer-end of the curve, with the yield for the 10-year tenor inching up 1 basis point, while the 15-year tenor gained 12 bps. The spread between the 2-year and 10-year tenors widened from 32 bps to 45 bps during the review period. Hong Kong, China's gross domestic product fell 3.5% year-on-year in the third quarter of 2020. Uncertainties stemming from the prolonged global pandemic, frictions between the PRC and the United States, and political risks continued to affect Hong Kong, China's economy and bond market.
Hong Kong, China's LCY bonds outstanding amounted to HKD2,287.0 (USD295.1 billion) at the end of September, up from HKD2,267.6 billion at the end of June. The LCY bond market's quarter-on-quarter growth rose to 0.9% in the third quarter of 2020 from 0.5% in the second quarter, driven mostly by a rebound in the government bond segment. Government bonds accounted for a 50.6% share of total LCY bonds outstanding at the end of September.
On 12 October, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) decided to hold the countercyclical capital buffer (CCyB) at 1.0%. The HKMA noted that the latest data based on the latest economic indicators signal a higher CCyB at 2.5%. However, the HKMA deemed that considering the high level of uncertainty facing the economy, holding the CCyB steady at 1.0% was more appropriate. A lower CCyB releases additional liquidity into the banking system by raising banks' lending capacity to support the economy.
