Governments in Europe’s developing markets are looking east to seize on a shift in investor demand.

Poland, which saw Asians overtake Americans as its second-biggest holders of domestic debt last year, is sending officials to China as early as next month to discuss the sale of yuan-denominated notes to local investors.
