ICBC Asia indicated that the overall subscription situation on the first day met expectations, with an average of about 14 lots subscribed per person, and around 80% of customers subscribed through online channels.
According to Zhichun Finance APP, the Hong Kong government will start accepting subscriptions for the 20 billion Hong Kong dollar infrastructure retail bonds from November 26. The assistant general manager of individual financial products at boc hong kong (02388) Liang Meiyi stated that the response on the first day for the bank's infrastructure retail bonds was ideal, with the average subscription amount significantly higher than last year's green bonds first-day average level, and most customers subscribed via electronic channels.
She indicated that under the expectation of interest rate cuts, infrastructure retail bonds can allow holders to lock in at least a 3.5% guaranteed return for the next three years, and the funds raised will be used for infrastructure projects closely related to people's livelihoods, which can enhance the sense of participation among the public, believing that it is an attractive investment option under the current market conditions. Investors with sufficient funds are advised to subscribe for 15 to 20 lots.
boc hong kong stated that it will waive all relevant fees for customers subscribing and holding infrastructure retail bonds.
HSBC expressed that the response on the first day was positive, with most subscription applications submitted through mobile banking or online banking.
