6 Offshore RMB Bonds via Hong Kong show dynamic growth Offshore CNH bond/cd issuance (RMB bn) As of the first half of 2013, offshore CNH bond issuance (except CDs) reached RMB 75.7bn, down 4% YOY caused by global bond market adjustment in June 2013 as the market worried over the Fed s tapering. On the other hand, it could also be due to the sharp decline of direct issuance from mainland Chinese corporates, despite some continued activities from other HK/China and non-hk/china issuers. After the summer of 2013, the offshore CNH issuance revived with the boom in the USD bond issuance, the strong currency advantage and the sustained funding cost advantage helped revitalize the offshore CNH bond market. By November 2013, the offshore CNH bond new issue market reached its peak. Source: Bank of China International Think Asia, Think Hong Kong Munich, 11 September 2014 Page 6

9 Key Take-Aways & Outlook Hong Kong has been and will remain a leading Financial Hub for foreign (German) Companies with funding needs in Asia also in terms of Offshore RMB Bonds. Thanks to its mature infrastructure and deep capital markets, Hong Kong offers excellent prerequisites for equity and debt capital raisings. Liquidity in the debt capital markets is key for bond issuances which is the case for Hong Kong and hence is still a comparative advantage to new Offshore RMB Centres. Due to its strong ties with other Asian financial markets, Hong Kong is an ideal place for capital raisings of (German) in order to finance operational businesses throughout Asia. This applies in particular to the following countries that introduced cross-border payment systems (USD settlement) with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority: Bank of Thailand (since 2014) Bank of Indonesia (since 2010) Bank of China (since 2009) Central Bank of Malaysia (since 2006) This also supports the importance of Hong Kong as a major Financial Hub in Asia for international, also German companies and investors Think Asia, Think Hong Kong Munich, 11 September 2014 Page 9
