[Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC): Welcomes HKEX's Expansion of the Scope of Chinese Government Bonds as Margin Collateral] The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) announced that the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) today expanded the scope of Chinese government bonds and Chinese policy bank bonds as eligible non-cash margin collateral to its listed derivatives clearinghouses. The clearinghouses have already lowered their financing fees for non-cash margin collateral to an annual rate of 0.15%. Leung Chung-yin, Executive Director of the Market Surveillance Department of the SFC, said, "Further expanding the scope of Chinese government bonds as collateral will not only reduce financing costs for market participants but also help expand their application scenarios in the offshore market."
