China onshore bond market has grown to the third largest in the world, following the United States and Japan. The recent regulatory changes allowed further foreign participation in the onshore bond market, and broadened international acceptance of the RMB. The RMB market development initiatives, coupled with the global tightening cycles, have driven more hedging demand among market participants.

Against this backdrop, HKEX has recently launched RMB currency options and other interest rates products to enrich the FIC derivatives offering. TMA is pleased to have invited Mr. Julien Martin, Managing Director and Head of the FIC Product Development, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited, to share with members the RMB market development and the HKEX product roadmap.
