“ From an underwriter's perspective, we are seeing panda bonds shift from being a tactical option to a strategic component for many of our multinational clients. The appeal is the creation of a natural hedge, aligning local currency debt onshore operations and revenue streams. This strategic integration, coupled with a stable funding environment and favourable financing costs, allows companies to diversify their funding sources and build a more resilient global treasury architecture for the long term.”
