BCCL is a joint venture established by CFETS and HKEX to support Bond Connect related trading services.

Bond Connect is an innovative mutual market access scheme that enables investors from Mainland China and overseas to trade in each other's bond markets through connection between the related Mainland and Hong Kong financial infrastructure institutions. Northbound trading commenced on 3 July 2017, offering China Interbank Bond Market (CIBM) access to international investors, and Southbound trading was launched on 24 September 2021, providing a convenient and efficient channel for Mainland China institutional investors to invest in offshore bonds through the Hong Kong bond market. Building on Bond Connect, the mutual access scheme between Mainland China and Hong Kong interest rate swap markets (Swap Connect) was officially launched on 15 May 2023, which provides an efficient channel for investors to participate in financial derivatives markets in both Mainland China and Hong Kong, and better serves investors’ demand for interest rate risk management.
