The inaugural Global Borrowers & Asia Investors Forum was a great success and brought together over 30 of the world’s leading bond issuers with over 300 of Asia’s bond buyers in Hong Kong on 17 September.
The day included discussions with nine sovereign issuers from Europe to Asia to Latin America, eight of the world’s most frequent supranational issuers and seven agency issuers from Europe and North America. Participants commented, questioned and debated the changing landscape in the primary debt markets, the increasingly important Asian bid and touched on the possibilities offered by Chinese liquidity and the future of offshore RMB funding.
