Chen Maobo: Warmly welcome companies and projects from Hainan Province and even the entire country to come to Hong Kong, issue bonds, and list on the stock exchange.

According to the Securities Times APP, on September 11th, Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan attended the 2025 Global Investors Roadshow hosted by the People's Government of Hainan Province, China. In his speech, he stated that Hainan Province has been a great partner for developing the bond market, showing high trust and support for Hong Kong's financial services and bond market. As Secretary Feng just mentioned, the People's Government of Hainan Province has issued bonds in Hong Kong for four consecutive years since 2022, with a total issuance expected to reach 18 billion RMB. The proceeds from this bond issuance will not only continue to support Hainan's green and blue projects, but also include a 10-year bond with a space theme for the first time. This has several important implications. Firstly, it opens up new dimensions for fundraising for mainland local governments in terms of areas and channels; secondly, it allows China's aerospace research and infrastructure to enter the view of international investors through Hong Kong, enhancing the visibility of China's cutting-edge technology; thirdly, it enriches the spectrum of RMB bonds and investment products, contributing to the promotion of RMB internationalization.
