               |  | 
                     Hong Kong is widening its appeal to global family offices, as it shapes new policies designed to meet emerging trends in the sector, according to Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Christopher Hui Ching-yu.
The city's “robust legal system, world-class financial infrastructure, strategic proximity to the mainland and competitive and simple tax regime” made it an “ideal destination for family offices, including those from Africa, seeking to establish or expand their operations”, the......

               |  | 
                     The latest round of the Hong Kong government's Silver Bonds attracted a record number of subscriptions in both quantity and value, as the city's elderly investors seized the opportunity to secure better returns than those offered by bank deposits.
The total applications for the three-year Silver Bonds were twice the government's latest issuance of HK$50 billion (US$6.4 billion). Investors submitted 370,000 bids for HK$98.52 billion worth of bonds during the offering period, which ended at 2pm on......

               |  | 
                     Hong Kong's offshore yuan bond market is on track for a record-breaking year as some of mainland China's largest technology firms prepare for deals, underscoring the city's push to be a fundraising hub beyond equities.
Chinese search-engine giant Baidu on September 9 said it would issue 4.5 billion yuan (US$618 million) in dim sum bonds, following a 10 billion yuan sale in March. Technology firms Meituan and Tencent Holdings were also reportedly weighing debt sales. Neither firm has made such a......

“The share of digital submission continues to grow,” a spokesperson said. “Separately, around 30 per cent of the applicants are new investors in the Silver Bonds programme with us.”

               |  | 
                     The world's first offshore yuan-denominated tokenised public bond was issued in Hong Kong on Monday, in a deal seen as a milestone in the city's ambition to become a digital finance hub.
GF Securities (Hong Kong) Brokerage raised 500 million yuan (US$70 million) on behalf of Shenzhen Futian Investment Holdings, with the two-year bond carrying a 2.62 per cent coupon and an A- rating from Fitch.

               |  | 
                     Hong Kong was responsible for nearly half of the green bonds issued in Asia in 2024 and saw a surge in sustainability-related funds, as strong demand from regional mainland governments and start-ups raised the city's stature as a finance hub for climate-friendly projects, according to a minister.
Green bond issuance in Hong Kong last year reached US$43 billion, representing 45 per cent of the region's total and keeping the city atop the league table in Asia for the seventh consecutive year, said......

               |  | 
                     The Hong Kong government is lowering the guaranteed coupon rate for its 10th batch of Silver Bonds offered to the city's senior citizens, as anticipation builds that the US Federal Reserve will commence its next cycle of interest rate cuts on September 18.
Up to HK$50 billion (US$6.4 billion) of Silver Bonds will go on sale next month with a guaranteed annual coupon of 3.85 per cent, down from 4 per cent in the batch sold in September last year. Three-year bonds will go on sale from 9am on......

                     Global investors have ramped up use of Chinese bonds in short-term borrowing agreements in Hong Kong, taking advantage of new measures from mainland and Hong Kong regulators that took effect on Monday.
Several banks, securities firms and hedge funds completed their first trades under the offshore Bond Connect repurchase (repo) business set up by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), leveraging enhancements announced last month, including the repledging of bond collateral during the lifetime......

                     Road King Infrastructure suspended US$22.6 million in interest payments and will defer distributions of US$56.5 million on perpetual securities, making it the first Hong Kong-based developer to default on bond payments since China's property crisis began in 2021.
The firm failed to win enough creditor consent for debt amendments aimed at easing short-term cash strain and missed interest payments on two notes due in July, it said in a filing with the Hong Kong stock exchange on Thursday. The......
