Pakistan has initiated a series of investor meetings in Beijing this week as part of preparations to issue its inaugural panda bond, marking a significant step in the country’s strategy to diversify its funding sources through China’s onshore capital market.

Representatives from Pakistan’s Ministry of Finance are conducting a non-deal investor roadshow (NDR) in China from July 7 to 11, 2025. The delegation has engaged in technical discussions with potential investors, underwriters, prospective guarantors, the Chinese Rating Agency, and Chinese legal counsel as part of the pre-marketing process for the debut panda bond.

The move is seen as a strategic effort to tap into China’s vast capital market and attract investment from Chinese institutional investors. By issuing a panda bond, Pakistan aims to raise funds in Chinese yuan, providing an alternative to traditional funding sources and enhancing financial cooperation between the two countries.

The investor roadshow in Beijing has garnered strong interest, with numerous meetings held to discuss the terms and potential benefits of the proposed bond issuance. The discussions have focused on the bond’s structure, pricing, and the broader economic implications for both Pakistan and China.

This initiative aligns with Pakistan’s broader efforts to strengthen economic ties with China and explore new avenues for financing infrastructure projects and other development initiatives. The successful issuance of the panda bond is expected to bolster investor confidence and contribute to the country’s economic growth.
