Bonds are negotiable securities issued by governments, enterprises, banks, and other debtors to raise capital through legal procedures, with a commitment to repay principal and interest on specified dates. The relationship between bond purchasers (investors) and issuers is a creditor-debtor relationship, where the issuer acts as the debtor and the investor (bond purchaser) as the creditor. Based on different issuing entities, bonds in the issuance market can be classified into three types: government bonds, financial bonds, and corporate (enterprise) bonds. As debt instruments, bonds, like other securities, represent virtual capital rather than real capital, serving as certificates of real capital utilized in economic operations.
In recent years, China's bond market has developed rapidly, playing a significant role in serving the economy, increasing the proportion of financing, and supporting supply-side structural reforms. According to the Statistical Yearbook of the People's Bank of China, the scale of China's bond market has steadily expanded, with total bond issuance continuously growing. In 2021, the total bond issuance in China reached 61.38 trillion CNY.
Research on the bond market holds great importance for constructing a new landscape in this field. Consequently, CnOpenData has launched China Bond Issuer Information Data, which includes Basic Information Table of Bond Issuers, Balance Sheet of Bond Issuers, Income Statement of Bond Issuers, and Cash Flow Statement of Bond Issuers. These datasets provide a foundational resource for studying capital market issues.
