The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) has issued $278 million (CNY 2 billion) 2-year Panda bond with coupon 1.64% (+0.07% spread over China Development Bank (CDB) Bonds) and maturity 14th July 2027. Panda bond is CNY (RMB) denominated bond issued by non-China domiciled entity. AIIB (11/7/25): “The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB, Aaa/AAA/AAA) has successfully returned to China’s onshore bond market with its first 2-year Panda Bond, raising CNY2 billion and achieving record demand and investor diversification. The transaction drew orders totaling CNY6.4 billion, resulting in a 3.2 times oversubscription, the highest for AIIB’s Panda Bond program. Priced at a spread of +7 basis points over China Development Bank (CDB) bonds, the issuance marks AIIB’s tightest spread in the Panda market in the past three years, underscoring investor confidence in the bank’s credit profile. This deal also represents a notable deepening of AIIB’s investor base, attracting more than 30 accounts, the largest number in any of the bank’s Panda transactions, including 12 new investors. Demand came from both returning investors met during recent China roadshows and central banks and official institutions already active in AIIB’s USD bond program, now engaging with the onshore CNY market for the first time. Domestic and foreign bank treasuries drove demand and accounted for 88% of final allocations, while central banks and official institutions represented 10.5% and asset managers and insurers made up the remainder. Offshore investors received 57.5% of final allocations, with onshore investors accounting for 42.5%. Offshore commercial banks took the largest share at 47%, followed by onshore foreign banks (27%), state-owned and joint-stock commercial banks (10%) and city/rural commercial banks (4%). The transaction reinforces AIIB’s role as a frequent and strategic issuer across global and regional markets. It also highlights the Bank’s commitment to deepening local capital markets and fostering sustainable investment demand in Asia.”
