Bond futures contract debuts in HK under new mainland policy actions

It will enable investors to manage their interest rate exposures more efficiently.

Hong Kong’s Securities & Futures Commission reported that the Mainland government will launch a five-year bond futures contract in the city.

In a press release, Chief Executive John Lee said this will enable investors to manage their interest rate exposures more efficiently and attract international investors.

Since the launch of Bond Connect in 2017, Chinese bond assets held by overseas investors have increased from around $926m (RMB800b) in June 2017 to over $3.47b (RMB3t) in April 2026.
