Get a glimpse of China's new rules to boost interbank transparency

Illegal bond trading will be clamped down on.

According to BBVA, the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) announced measures to improve transparency in the interbank bond market by clamping down on illegal bond trading.

The measures require all bond transactions to be conducted through the National Interbank Funding Center (rather than over-the-counter).

Here's more from BBVA:

Last April, several market participants were arrested or put under investigation on suspicion of circumventing trading restrictions to boost profits.

We do not believe today’s announcement is directly linked to efforts to curb shadow banking activity and the related squeeze in the interbank market.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
