Non-bank institutions obtain access to the Bond Connect "Southbound Channel", securities firms welcome new opportunities in cross-border business.

On the occasion of the eighth anniversary of Bond Connect, the "Southbound Connect" participating institutions have expanded, with securities firms and other non-bank financial institutions obtaining new tickets for entry into the "Southbound Connect". In the view of industry insiders, the entry of non-bank financial institutions brings both opportunities and challenges: it not only satisfies the diversified investment needs of non-bank financial institutions in a low interest rate environment, but also tests their research, risk management, and overseas bond investment capabilities.
