ICMA Brussels roundtable: Asia's debt capital markets, policy developments & implications for Europe
ICMA was pleased to host EU and national policymakers, regulators, and the policy community to an exclusive afternoon roundtable discussion session at our Brussels office.
This interactive roundtable discussion on Asia’s debt capital markets, policy developments and implications for Europe focused on:
1. Asian international bond markets – trends and dynamics
Highlighting the main insights from the recent report published by ICMA with support from the HKMA (Hong Kong Monetary Authority), and its relevance for the EU from a policy, market and sustainable bond perspective.
2. China bond market internationalisation – recent developments and impact for Europe
Discussion on changes over the last 5 years and updates since the dedicated ICMA report as well as an outlook and implications for Europe.
The roundtable was moderated by ICMA’s Chief Representative for Asia Pacific, Mushtaq Kapasi, who is based in ICMA’s Hong Kong office and was in Europe in June 2026.
It provided an excellent opportunity for the audience to engage with experts on the most recent developments in Asian debt capital markets.
