China is considering a major expansion of its Bond Connect program, potentially doubling the quota for offshore investors to 1 trillion yuan (approximately $139 billion), according to people familiar with the matter.

The move aims to attract more foreign capital into the country’s financial markets and signal ongoing commitment to gradual financial liberalization, even as geopolitical tensions and economic headwinds weigh on investor sentiment. The current limit under the Southbound Bond Connect program — which allows mainland Chinese investors to buy bonds in Hong Kong — stands at 500 billion yuan.

While final decisions are yet to be made, regulators are said to be in discussions with major financial institutions and market participants. An increase in the quota would further integrate China’s financial system with global markets and provide additional liquidity to the offshore bond market.

The proposal, if approved, would mark one of the most significant changes to the program since its launch and reflects Beijing’s efforts to balance capital outflows with financial openness.
