Bloomberg has announced the expansion of its RMB repo trading solution to support global investors accessing onshore liquidity in China鈥檚 bond markets.
The expansion follows the recent announcement by the People鈥檚 Bank of China (PBoC) to allow all overseas institutional investors already investing in China鈥檚 bond markets, to participate in the onshore repo business to access RMB liquidity.
Bloomberg launched its RMB repo trading solution in February 2025 to support offshore RMB repo trading, enabling global investors to conduct repo and/or reverse repo trading using eligible onshore bonds as collateral.
Following these changes, Bloomberg鈥檚 solution will continue to facilitate repo trading with designated market makers 鈥� whether offshore or onshore 鈥� through a unified electronic trading workflow.
Commenting on the expansion, Gary Lo, head of offshore China trading at Cr茅dit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, states: 鈥淐ross-boundary bond repo trading enables global investors who already hold Chinese bonds to participate in the onshore repo market, creating a seamless bridge between markets that optimises funding access and enhances bond utilisation efficiency.
鈥淚t is one of the most important infrastructures built to link onshore and offshore using Chinese bonds as collateral.鈥�
Bing Li, head of Asia Pacific at Bloomberg, states: 鈥淟aunching the cross-boundary bond repurchase arrangement significantly expands offshore investors鈥� access to RMB liquidity and strengthens the framework supporting foreign participation in China鈥檚 bond markets.
鈥淎s the first offshore trading solution provider, Bloomberg has worked closely with CFETS to ensure our solution delivers an efficient workflow for global investors. This reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting our clients in navigating China鈥檚 bond markets as they internationalise.鈥�
