ICBC, CCDO, SGX to endorse new renminbi bond indices

The new bond indices can be used as performance basis for investing in RMB bonds.

The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), China Central Depository & Clearing (CCDC), and the Singapore Exchange (SGX) have agreed to jointly promote the newly-launched suite of ChinaBond-ICBC RMB Bond Indices, according to a press release.

Based on the memorandum of understanding (MOU), the indices will be comprised of the ChinaBond Index ICBC Key Terms Treasury Bond Index, ChinaBond ICBC 1-5 year Key Terms Policy Bank Bond Index, and ChinaBond ICBC 3-5 year Credit Bond Index, which were developed by CCDC subsidiary ChinaBond Pricing Center together with ICBC and can be used as a performance basis for investing in renminbi bonds.

The three parties will jointly increase investor awareness of the Bond Indices through educational sessions and publicity, with the SGX being the first exchange to display the Bond Indices outside China through its website in accordance with China’s efforts to internationalise its currency.

Moreover, the ChinaBond-ICBC RMB Bond Index aims to expand China’s financial industry to offshore markets, attract international capital investments, promote capital financing using the renminbi and the usage of the currency in Singapore to meet the needs of international investors.

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.
