BEIJING, Nov. 25 (Xinhua) -- China's Ministry of Finance (MOF) issued yuan-denominated treasury bonds worth 5 billion yuan (about 760.5 million U.S. dollars) in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on Wednesday.
The bonds included 3.5 billion yuan of two-year treasury bonds and 1.5 billion yuan of five-year treasury bonds, the MOF said in an online statement.
The issuance is an additional offering to the previous 5 billion yuan in treasury bonds issued in Hong Kong in July of this year, according to the ministry.
The MOF started selling yuan-denominated treasury bonds in Hong Kong in September 2009 to boost the region's economy and speed up the expansion of offshore yuan business. Enditem
