News from CCTV: The China Securities Regulatory Commission recently issued an announcement stating that the People's Bank of China and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange will allow qualified foreign investors to participate in treasury bond futures trading from April 24, 2026. The purpose of the transaction is limited to hedging.
Allowing qualified foreign investors to participate in treasury bond futures trading is one of the specific measures to implement the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council on "expanding high-level opening up to the outside world." This move aims to continue to expand the scope of investment for qualified foreign investors, enrich the interest rate risk management tools of foreign institutional investors, enhance the attractiveness of RMB bond assets, improve the stability of foreign institutional investment behavior, and promote the high-quality development of the bond futures spot market.
In the next step, the China Securities Regulatory Commission will also introduce more reform and development measures for the futures market to further promote the high-level institutional opening of the capital market.
