Among the total, new bond sales on the interbank market, the primary channel for bond offerings and trade in China, amounted to 898 billion yuan, down 1.7 percent year on year.
In the first seven months, China's new bond offerings rose 18.8 percent to 6.3 trillion yuan. Among the total, new bond sales on the interbank market hit 6.2 trillion yuan, up 22.2 percent year on year.
