On June 26, 2025, a landmark transaction unfolded in China's interbank bond market as CITIC Construction Investment Securities Co., Ltd. successfully floated its inaugural Science and Technology Innovation Bond (Phase I). China CITIC Bank's Beijing Branch spearheaded this pioneering issuance as lead underwriter and bookrunner, marking the securities sector's debut offering of such bonds in this marketplace. Robust participation emerged from diverse financial institutions, including commercial banks, securities firms, and fund companies, underscoring strong market appetite for innovative financing instruments.

This breakthrough traces its origins to early March 2025, when China CITIC Bank's Beijing unit initiated collaborative discussions with CITIC Construction Investment Securities. Their strategic dialogue focused on crafting novel bond structures, directly responding to the central financial work conference's mandate to advance five critical financial domains: technology finance, green finance, inclusive finance, pension finance, and digital finance. Following regulatory approval in June, the Beijing branch executed a seamless issuance process, delivering comprehensive financial solutions that garnered exceptional client endorsement.

This transaction exemplifies deep-rooted institutional client integration and represents a strategic leap forward in China CITIC Bank's vision to become a preeminent integrated financing institution. Beyond demonstrating cross-departmental synergy within the CITIC Group, the deal validates the conglomerate's formidable resource-mobilization capabilities.

As the ancient wisdom holds: "Unraveling one knot loosens the entire net." Building upon this milestone, China CITIC Bank's Beijing Branch pledges intensified financial backing for technological innovation, further amplifying contributions to the nation's five pivotal financial initiatives.
