Annual issuance of cross-border bonds from Asia has increased more than fivefold from USD 107 billion in 2006 to USD 575 billion in 2020.
In an effort to understand this remarkable growth, ICMA, with the support of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), has published a new report - The Asian International Bond Markets: Development and Trends, exploring the evolution of the international bond market in Asia over the last 15 years and the factors contributing to the current picture of overall regional market activity. The report draws upon both quantitative issuance and trading data, as well as qualitative research and insights from market practitioners.
