Get a glimpse of China's new rules to boost interbank transparency

Illegal bond trading will be clamped down on.

According to BBVA, the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) announced measures to improve transparency in the interbank bond market by clamping down on illegal bond trading. 

The measures require all bond transactions to be conducted through the National Interbank Funding Center (rather than over-the-counter).

Here's more from BBVA:

Last April, several market participants were arrested or put under investigation on suspicion of circumventing trading restrictions to boost profits.

We do not believe today’s announcement is directly linked to efforts to curb shadow banking activity and the related squeeze in the interbank market.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
