12 March 2025 The International Capital Market Association (ICMA), with support from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), is pleased to announce the release of the fifth edition of its report, The Asian International Bond Markets: Issuance Trends and Dynamics.

- Latest Issuance Trends: A 20% year-over-year rebound in Asian international bond issuance volume, reaching $460 billion in 2024.
- Jurisdictional Highlights: India, China, and ASEAN markets are driving increases in issuance, with growth of the Asian international bond markets partly driven by new issuers.
- Sustainable Bonds: An important segment of Asian international bond markets, with Asia’s share higher than global averages.
