How municipal China could hold the key as the world's second-biggest green bond market prepares for its next stage of development.

The policy change heralds a new round of financial liberalisation as mainland Chinese regulators welcome international investment.

The Chinese currency's breaching of a key level against the dollar has sparked market turmoil and will be posing some tough questions for investors.

China is considering expanding its bond ties with the UK and opening up exchange-listed bonds to more foreign investors.

There are caveats though: the Sino-US trade war and the fact the renminbi is not yet fully convertible.

The inflow of foreign funds into China's bond market is encouraging it to evolve so that it aligns more closely with international norms.

Hayden Briscoe, head of Asian fixed income at UBS, explains why Asian bond markets have rallied so strongly and why he believes that China needs to bring back its shadow banking sector.

The inclusion of Chinese bonds in international indices is a major step towards increasing the internationalisation of the renminbi.
