On Sept. 24 the PBOC Shanghai headquarters convened a meeting to accelerate
development of free‑trade‑zone offshore bond markets, instructing financial
institutions to expand issuance, widen investor access via FTU investment
policies to attract overseas professional managers, sovereign wealth funds and
international organizations, and speed secondary‑market development to boost
liquidity. The meeting also emphasized prioritizing support for the real
economy, stepped‑up global policy outreach and case promotion, and coordinating
product innovation with strengthened risk management to contain risks.
