Yue Zhigang, President of China Chengxin, stated that China's outstanding bond market size has surpassed RMB 200 trillion, with corporate credit bonds reaching RMB 38.38 trillion, providing robust support for upgrading traditional industries and advancing emerging sectors. Meanwhile, the bond market’s 'Sci-Tech Board' has marked its first anniversary. As of May this year, the cumulative issuance of sci-tech innovation bonds has exceeded RMB 5.4 trillion, representing a year-to-date increase of approximately 7%. Private enterprises’ participation has risen to about 12%. While bonds with maturities of three to five years remain dominant, longer-term instruments exceeding ten years are increasingly being issued, better aligning with the long-cycle funding needs of sci-tech innovation. Addressing the new paradigm of Chinese enterprises going global—characterized by comprehensive internationalization of production capacity, brands, and capital—Yue highlighted acute challenges including overseas political risks, exchange rate volatility, and asymmetric cross-border credit information. He noted that narrow financing channels and insufficient overseas credit endorsement have become tangible bottlenecks, underscoring the urgent need to advance RMB internationalization and cross-border credit infrastructure in a coordinated manner.
