“Dim sum” bonds, offshore renminbi debt issued mostly in Hong Kong, are headed for a record year.

Offshore issuance has already reached about Rmb475bn in 2025 to end-August, propelled by cheaper onshore rates and a broader base of issuers and buyers, according to Bloomberg data.

Against that backdrop, Standard Chartered is positioning itself as an arranger of choice for cross-border RMB funding, with Hong Kong as the hub.
