Bonds are negotiable securities issued by debtors such as governments, enterprises, and banks to raise funds through statutory procedures, promising to repay principal and interest to creditors on specified dates. The relationship between bond purchasers/investors and issuers is one of creditor-debtor obligations, where the bond issuer is the debtor and the investor (bond purchaser) is the creditor. Based on the issuing entity, bond types in the issuance market can be classified into: government bonds, financial bonds, and corporate (enterprise) bonds. As an instrument representing creditor-debtor relationships, bonds—like other negotiable securities—are a form of fictitious capital rather than real capital; they serve as certificates of real capital employed 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 reform in financing. According to the People's Bank of China Statistical Yearbook, China's bond market has steadily expanded, with total bond issuance continuously growing. In 2021, China's total bond issuance reached 61.38 trillion yuan.
Research on the bond market is crucial for constructing a new landscape in this sector. Consequently, CnOpenData has launched China Bond Issuance Information Data, specifically categorized into Bond Basic Information Table, Bond Classification Table, Bond Fundraising and Issuance Table, Bond with Embedded Options Features Table, Bond Credit Rating Table, and Institutional Investment Prohibition Table. This dataset provides a foundational resource for studying capital market issues.
