The day after, Bloomberg launched the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/company\/announcements\/bloomberg-launches-new-rmb-bond-suite-global-investors\/\">RMB Bond Suite<\/a> in preparation for greater investor interest in China\u2019s $9 trillion domestic bond market.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In response to market interest around the Bond Connect programme, Bloomberg today gathered more than 150 market participants in Hong Kong to discuss how the initiative will work, how it will facilitate northbound trading and its operational details.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The event was kicked off by Romnesh Lamba, Co-Head of Market Development at Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEx), who delivered a keynote outlining how the Bond Connect can help investors and a vision of how it would work.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-35858\" src=\"https:\/\/data.bloomberglp.com\/company\/sites\/2\/2017\/06\/20170609_IMG_0220.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4000\" height=\"2667\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>Romnesh Lamba, Co-Head of Market Development at Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEx), delivering his keynote speech<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This was followed by a panel comprised of senior market practitioners from HKEx, Hong Kong Monetary Authority, BNP Paribas, Standard Chartered, Bank of China Hong Kong and Tianfeng International Securities, who gave their opinions on how the Bond Connect programme would operate and the technical considerations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the event, Taran Khera, Head of Asia for Bloomberg, reaffirmed that Bloomberg will lend its full support to the Bond Connect programme, and is working with the respective parties.
