As of Aug 13, year-to-date panda bond issuance reached CNY 202.475 bln, up 73.57% YoY and exceeding full-year totals of CNY 183.56 bln in 2025 and CNY 194.8 bln in 2024, a record high. Zhongguancun IoT Industry Alliance deputy secretary-general Yuan Shuai said regulators have simplified issuance procedures and lowered thresholds and institutional costs for foreign issuers, encouraging more offshore institutions to enter the Chinese bond market. He added that, versus high-rate environments in some developed economies, RMB financing costs have remained relatively moderate, reducing funding costs for foreign issuers and supporting debt-structure stability.

Axios reports that in a Oval Office meeting two weeks ago President Trump asked Prime Minister Netanyahu about his polling ahead of the Oct. 27 election; Netanyahu hesitated and an aide interjected that he was leading. Trump has so far declined to offer the expected public backing and could still change his mind. With 75 days to the vote, Netanyahu’s governing bloc polls at 49–53 seats versus his current 68 and below the 61 needed to form a government; the opposition polls at 67–70 seats. Former IDF chief Gadi Eizenkot tops Netanyahu in most recent polls.
