Outlook

As offshore new-issue channels tighten, DCM competition is shifting from access and pricing toward deeper client coverage, tailored product combinations and cross-market funding. The Group is moving from a single-product underwriter toward integrated 2B/G solutions, industrial-transformation clients, and new issuer types including overseas, Belt-and-Road, resources and technology names.
