Today (8 July) marks the 8th anniversary of the Bond Connect. Eddie Yue, HKMA’s Chief Executive, attended the Bond Connect Anniversary Summit 2025 and delivered a keynote speech. “Global investors’ growing interest in Renminbi (RMB)-denominated bonds and Mainland investors’ expanding overseas allocations underscore the critical role of the Bond Connect as a gateway to facilitate cross-border capital flows between the Mainland and global financial markets,” he said. “Bond Connect exemplifies the power of collaboration and innovation in addressing the changing needs of investors, as it continues to evolve over the years.” At the event, the HKMA and the People’s Bank of China announced a series of enhancements to support the development of the Bond Connect ecosystem, including: 1. Expanding the Southbound Bond Connect investor scope to include securities firms, fund companies, insurance companies and wealth management companies, effective today; and 2. Enhancing the offshore RMB repo business (using Northbound Bond Connect bonds as collateral) to support re-hypothecation and cross-currency repo (in HKD, USD, and EUR). The CMU OmniClear will enhance the operational arrangements accordingly. The new arrangements will be launched on 25 August 2025. These enhancement measures aim to broaden two-way investment channels, boost market liquidity and improve operational efficiency, thereby consolidating Hong Kong’s role as an international financial centre and a leading offshore RMB business hub.
