TREE NEWS update: The Export-Import Bank of China issued a 1-year bond of 13 billion yuan at a coupon of 1.3500%, slightly above the expected 1.3400%, with a bid-to-cover ratio of 3.56 times. The issuance drew 3.56 times the amount offered in bids.
Export-Import Bank of China Issues 1-Year Bond at 1.3500%, 3.56x Bid
The modest coupon miss—1.35% versus 1.34% expected—matters less than the 3.56x bid-to-cover, which signals that policy-bank paper remains a preferred parking spot for onshore liquidity even at yields that offer little real return. The demand skews the read toward ample funding and a bid for quasi-sovereign credit rather than any shift in growth expectations. Whether that coverage ratio holds in subsequent policy-bank supply is the open question.
