　　Bonds held by foreign institutions in CCDC amounted 2,001,136 million yuan, passing the 2 trillion mark for the first time and an 30.45% increase year-on-year.

　　The continuous increase of foreign investment in Chinese government bonds indicates that the Chinese bond market is becoming more attractive to the external world thanks to many reasons:

　　First, the opening up of China's bond market has continued to accelerate, offering better access for foreign capital to enter the Chinese bond market.

　　Second, China is on a track of fast economic recovery after controlling the coronavirus pandemic effectively. Renminbi assets, due to the currency‘s relatively stable exchange rate, has demonstrated its advantages as a safe-haven, boosting foreign investors’ confidence in the Chinese market.

　　Third, after a new round of QE across the globe, Chinese government bonds will benefit from the relatively high spread compared with foreign bonds, and achieve higher investment value.
