The inclusion is a result of the completion of several planned operational enhancements that were implemented by the People\u2019s Bank of China (PBoC), Ministry of Finance and State Taxation Administration.<\/p>\n<p>When fully accounted for in the Global Aggregate Index, local currency Chinese bonds will be the fourth largest currency component following the US dollar, euro and Japanese yen. Using data as of January 24, 2019 the index would include 363 Chinese securities and represent 6.03% of a $54.07 trillion index upon completion of the phase-in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s announcement represents an important milestone on China\u2019s path towards more open and transparent capital markets, and underscores Bloomberg\u2019s long-term commitment to connecting investors to China,\u201d said Bloomberg Chairman Peter T. Grauer. \u201cWith the upcoming inclusion of China in the Global Aggregate Index, China\u2019s bond market presents a growing opportunity for global investors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The PBoC, Ministry of Finance and State Taxation Administration have completed a number of enhancements that were required for inclusion in the Global Aggregate Index in order to increase investor confidence and improve market accessibility. These include the implementation of delivery v. payment settlement, ability to allocate block trades across portfolios, and clarification on tax collection policies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a pivotal time in the development of China\u2019s markets and inclusion in our Global Aggregate Index is significant for facilitating Chinese market access for global investors,\u201d said Steve Berkley, Global Head of Bloomberg Indices. \u201cOur phased approach to inclusion is designed to give investors ample time to prepare for what we believe will be a positive impact on the investment community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Global Aggregate Index, Chinese RMB-denominated debt will be eligible for inclusion in the Global Treasury and EM Local Currency Government Indices starting April 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg will create ex-China versions of the Global Aggregate, Global Treasury and EM Local Currency Government Indices for index users who wish to track benchmarks that exclude China. Bloomberg can also create customized versions of the indices as requested by investors.<\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg provides an independent, transparent approach to indexing for customers across the globe.
