New Sharing

In early September last year, FTSE was planned the decision to include some China Sovereign Bonds to its flagship index so that more global investors can enter the China's Markets to find out more valuable investment opportunities.

In 30th March, 2021, FTSE continuous to plan ahead to include the China Government Bonds to its WGBI Index, the benchmark to indicate the world government bonds performance. FTSE Russell has approved for Chinese sovereign bonds to be included in its flagship bond index around this year (2021), setting the stage for billions of dollars of inflows into China Market.

It is estimated that the inclusion would be done in around 3 years. FTSE asserts that the inclusion of the China Sovereign Bonds can reflects the robust index governance process and regular engagement with global investors, regulators and other key market participants.

At the same time, China government also plan to open an international stock market in China. In today news, Reuters said that China is now considering to establish a stock exchange to attract overseas-listed firms and bolster the global status of its onshore share markets. Some technology giants like Apple Inc, Amazon and Tesla Inc listed in the US may have the opportunity to list in China. As a result, local China's investors can buy these stocks in the China Stock Exchange.

Talking about FTSE, the inclusion of China government bonds bring inflows to China Market. And the open of new market in China to oversea stocks can facilitate the financing process of oversea companies because more capitals are invested in the designated oversea companies.
