The Eurobond market, valued at US$15 trillion, presents Chinese issuers with an opportunity to tap into international investors and diversify their funding options. This market allows for longer maturities, issuance in multiple currencies, and greater flexibility. Chinese outbound foreign direct investment rose in 2024, driving interest in Eurobonds for liquidity management and global visibility.
