Credit Bond Market New Defaults Hit Multi-Year Low; Private Firms Issue 270 Billion Yuan at 1.89%
Since 2026, only two new defaulters have emerged in China's credit bond market, involving RMB 288 million, pushing the new default rate to a multi-year low. Meanwhile, private enterprises issued about RMB 270 billion in bonds in the first half of the year, up nearly 30% year-on-year, with the average issuance rate for three-year AAA-rated medium-term notes falling to 1.89%, reflecting a significant improvement in credit conditions. However, repayment risks for weaker entities persist.
