FTSE World Government Bond Index China weight rises to 11.9%

The reporter recently learned from FTSE Russell that in the September index profile of the FTSE World Government Bond Index, China accounts for 11.9% of the index by weight, making it the second-largest government bond market after the United States. The inclusion of Chinese bonds in the index is a landmark event in the opening-up of China's financial market. As the weight of Chinese government bonds in international indices steadily rises, global investors are increasingly viewing them as an important tool for diversifying portfolio risk. Industry insiders believe that against the backdrop of rising uncertainty in the international environment, China's bond market has demonstrated strong resilience; at the same time, the infrastructure development of the RMB capital market continues to deepen, and foreign institutions' willingness to allocate RMB assets has further strengthened.
