Navigating the Asian bond markets: a report by ICMA

The International Capital Market Association (ICMA) released its latest edition of the Asian International Bond Markets report, and MarketAxess is proud to be a contributor for the third consecutive year. This report leverages our TraX data to provide global market stakeholders with an updated overview and analysis of secondary market trends in the region through 2022. 

2022 proved to be a challenging year for the Asian international bond market. Issuances took a dip while interest rates and geopolitical tensions rose. The data gathered by ICMA suggests that reduced liquidity, as seen in lower secondary market volumes, is in part a response to higher yields and widening credit spreads, which increase uncertainty for investors and risks for market-makers. This can also be attributed to a reduction in primary market activity.  

Despite the unfavorable factors affecting the bond markets in Asia though, there have been increasing appetite towards innovative technologies and promoting digitalization in the Asia bond markets, with the use of electronic venues to transact in the secondary market becoming increasingly entrenched. 


Report highlights


Despite the setback, the view that the US may be reaching the peak of the interest rate cycle, stabilizing macro-economic outlook, a sense of recovery in the Chinese property sector, and China’s post-Covid economic reopening are inciting optimism about the prospects of both primary and secondary markets in 2023.
