The new bond has a maturity of 3 years and was sized at RMB 1 billion at an interest rate of 3.23%. It was almost three times oversubscribed and aimed mainly at international institutional investors. The bond is also traded on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the London Stock Exchange, and the China (Macau) Financial Assets Trading.
