香港財政司司長陳茂波表示，截至6月底，境外投資者通過「債券通」持有的中國債券超過人民幣3兆元，較9年前該機制實施時增加近3倍[1]。陳茂波強調，「債券通」佔據總體交易額的三分之二，凸顯了該渠道在連接境外資金與中國債市中的重要角色[1]。
同時，5年期中國國債期貨在香港交易所首次掛牌上市[1]。陳茂波表示，香港在離岸人民幣平台、結算系統、點心債市場及人民幣國債發行等四個方面已積累深厚基礎，進一步鞏固了香港作為人民幣國際化關鍵樞紐的地位[1]。
Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan announced that as of end-June, overseas investors held more than 3 trillion yuan in Chinese government bonds through the Bond Connect program, nearly tripling the holdings since the scheme's inception nine years earlier [1]. The Bond Connect mechanism accounts for two-thirds of total trading volume in this channel [1].
In a related development, five-year Chinese government bond futures were listed on the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing for the first time [1]. Chan emphasized Hong Kong's core position as an offshore renminbi platform and its critical role in the internationalization of the Chinese currency, citing the city's accumulated foundation in four areas: the offshore renminbi platform, settlement systems, the dim sum bond market, and issuance of Chinese government bonds [1].
