The tender, held on November 14, attracted significant interest, with applications amounting to RMB4.361 billion, according to Hong Kong Monetary Authority.
The tender offered a total of RMB1.5 billion in bonds under the issue number 10GB3411001, as part of the Infrastructure Bond Programme. The bid-to-cover ratio stood at 2.91, highlighting robust demand for these government securities. The average accepted price was 100.18, corresponding to an annualized yield of 2.454%.

This bond issuance comes at a time when the Hong Kong bond market is witnessing growing interest from both local and international investors. The high bid-to-cover ratio suggests strong confidence in Hong Kong’s fiscal stability and the attractiveness of RMB-denominated assets.
