CHINA has effectively banned domestic investors from buying offshore yuan bonds issued by local government financing vehicles through its trading link with Hong Kong.
Dim sum bonds have attracted strong demand in recent years given their typically higher yields than those onshore, where Beijing’s monetary easing has pushed down borrowing costs.
It also comes after Beijing gave local governments a 10 trillion yuan (S$1.8 trillion) lifeline earlier this month to swap hidden debt that is mostly owed by LGFVs.
Officials said earlier this month that the outstanding value of hidden local debt was 14.3 trillion yuan as of the end of 2023, far short of the International Monetary Fund’s estimate of at about 60 trillion yuan.
