Kazakhstan’s sovereign wealth fund Samruk-Kazyna is considering a possible entry into China’s bond market as part of efforts to broaden its funding base and deepen financial cooperation with Beijing, official news agency Kazinform reported on January 27, citing Samruk-Kazyna’s press service.

During a working visit to China, the fund’s chair, Nurlan Zhakupov, held talks with Wang Shuguang, deputy chair of the board and president of China International Capital Corporation (CICC), the media outlet reported. Discussions focused on building a long-term partnership and assessing opportunities for issuing debt in China, alongside the potential expansion of financing in renminbi.

CICC, established in 1995, is one of China’s leading investment banks, offering services across investment banking, brokerage, asset management and financial advisory. The group is headquartered in Beijing and operates an extensive network of offices across China, as well as representative presences in major international financial centres.

Reports last September indicated that the Kazakh government was preparing for its first ever yuan-bond issuance.
