The volume of longer-tenor USD high-yield-bond issuances by Chinese companies has surpassed that of shorter-term notes so far in 3Q20, reversing the trend in 2Q20, with the primary market continuing its recovery.

So far in 3Q20, USD 5.71bn bonds with tenors of more than three years to five years have been priced across 21 deals, outpacing the USD 5.04bn with tenors of one to three years from 19 deals. In the entire 2Q20, the volumes were USD 4.21bn and USD 5.13bn, respectively.
