Bond Connect’s development since its recent launch has been exceeding expectations, said a lawyer familiar with the scheme.

Bond Connect, a new mutual market access scheme that allows investors from mainland China and overseas to trade in each other’s bond markets for the first time, opened in July 2017.
“By the end of October, Bond Connect had been up and running for four months and 200 eligible investors had registered with PBOC Shanghai for investing through Bond Connect,” said Liew Chin-chong, a partner of Linklaters in Hong Kong. “This compares favourably even with the direct access route for foreign institutional investors, which started much earlier, in June 2016, and had 286 foreign investors as of the end of October.”
