云顶新耀EVER001亮相ERA 2025 探索原发性膜性肾病治疗新路径

香港,2025年6月9日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 在第62届欧洲肾脏协会年会(ERA 2025)上,云顶新耀(HKEX:1952.HK)自主研发、拥有全球权益的新一代共价可逆BTK抑制剂EVER001首次以集中口头报告形式发布其在原发性膜性肾病(pMN)中的阶段性临床研究数据。这是EVER001首次在国际学术会议上披露相关成果,聚焦于在原发性肾小球肾炎中发病率处于第2位的原发性膜性肾病。数据显示该产品在机制创新、初步疗效以及安全性方面均展现出积极信号。此次研究的发布为该领域未来的治疗探索提供了新的临床依据,也体现了中国创新药企业在复杂肾病治疗领域持续提升的研发能力与国际化进程。EVER001是一款创新性的共价可逆BTK抑制剂,潜在用于治疗包括原发性膜性肾病等肾脏疾病在内的多种自身免疫性肾脏疾病,有望为全球逾1000万患有原发性膜性肾病、IgA肾病、微小病变性肾病、局灶节段性肾小球硬化和狼疮性肾炎等疾病的患者提供更多治疗选择。中国目前有约200万原发性膜性肾病患者,欧美与日本约有近22万患者,且逾三分之一最终进展为终末期肾病(ESRD),目前全球没有获批此适应症的药物。现有方案普遍依赖非特异性免疫抑制,疗效有限、安全性存疑,临床急需机制创新的新治疗方式。在此背景下,EVER001作为一款潜在的同类最佳产品,在保持高效的同时具有高选择性,其用于原发性膜性肾病的突出临床优势带来了广阔的市场前景。根据ERA 2025大会公布的1b/2a期研究数据,EVER001在不同剂量组均显示出快速起效、免疫学和临床缓解高度一致的优势:24周时,76.9%的低剂量组患者和81.8%的高剂量组患者已达到免疫学完全缓解;低剂量组在36周蛋白尿水平较基线下降78.0%,并维持至第52周,69.2%的低剂量组患者在36周达到了临床缓解;高剂量组则在24周即达70.1%蛋白尿下降,其中80.0%的患者已达到临床缓解。除了优异疗效,EVER001的安全性同样突出。作为新一代共价可逆BTK抑制剂,EVER001在保持强效靶点抑制的同时,显著降低了对EGFR、ITK等脱靶激酶的抑制风险。临床研究未观察到传统共价不可逆BTK抑制剂常见的严重不良反应,如出血、心律失常、严重感染及肝功能损伤等,展现出良好的耐受性,为长期治疗提供基础,也强化其作为慢性病长期管理的竞争潜力。EVER001是云顶新耀首个完全拥有全球开发、生产与商业化权益的管线产品。目前该产品正稳步推进多适应症临床布局,除pMN外,还包括IgA肾病(IgAN)、微小病变病(MCD)、局灶节段性肾小球硬化(FSGS)和狼疮性肾炎(LN)等免疫性肾病领域,具备全球市场潜力,并已被纳入公司国际化战略重点,未来有望通过授权合作、国际注册等多元路径实现"自研出海"。在肾病战略板块中,EVER001与云顶新耀另一核心产品耐赋康®正逐步形成机制互补与适应症覆盖的协同效应。耐赋康®是全球首个且唯一在中国、美国和欧洲获得完全批准的IgA肾病对因治疗药物,2024年11月纳入中国国家医保目录,并先后被纳入改善全球肾脏病预后组织(KDIGO)发布的《2024版KDIGOIgA肾病和IgA血管炎临床管理实践指南(公开审查版)》,以及《中国成人IgA肾病及IgA血管炎临床实践指南(预审版本)》,确立其一线治疗基石地位。为进一步提升从早筛、治疗到长期管理的系统能力,公司正同步推进Gd-IgA1诊断试剂的开发,助力IgAN等慢性病实现更早识别、更精准分型及疗效监测。通过"诊断+治疗"全流程一体化布局,云顶新耀正推动IgAN等免疫相关肾病从支持性治疗迈向精准对因管理,系统提升疾病识别效率与治疗规范性,为肾病构建具长期价值的综合解决方案平台。在全球肾病领域临床挑战与创新机遇并存的当下,云顶新耀正通过耐赋康®与EVER001双路径并进的策略,推动中国创新药构建全球治疗新标准。ERA 2025上EVER001的亮相,不仅标志其临床开发进入关键节点,也展现了中国自研药物在国际学术平台上的影响力,为中国原研药"走出去"提供范例,也为全球患者带来机制创新、疗效优异的治疗新方案。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

稀有中高端冷冻海产上市公司大洋环球上月跑赢大市 最新财报有启示?

香港,2025年6月6日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 被称为「新消费三姐妹」今年以来累计倍升的表现,大幅跑赢大市同期(恒指同期升17.21%),令市场刮目相看,事实上,部份难以取缔的高端消费相关股份同样静静起革命,如市场稀有的与中高端香港冷冻海产消费相关的上市公司大洋环球(08476)正是一例,今年至今股价同样已升43%。大洋环球于6月3日收市后释出其截至今年3月底止年度业绩,当中会否有着任何启示?大洋环球自2017年10月在港创业板上市,当年以「业务稳健的香港急冻海产进口及代理商」作为公开招股的卖点,时至今日,公司依旧以从事进口及代理急冻海产品为主业的香港与澳门供应商,在急冻海产进口及代理行业拥有逾22年经验,向逾370名批发商及大型餐饮连锁店客户供应各式各样的急冻海产产品超过100个品种,而其客户主要是急冻海鲜转售商及急冻海鲜餐饮服务供应商。其知名产品包括:加拿大牡丹虾、日本熟帆立贝、Clearwater牌北寄贝、帝王蟹脚、蒲烧鳗鱼、北海道带子、各类刺身虾等。表面上,公司2025财年收益录得约3.96亿港元,按年减少13.7%,但对比其上市后首年的2018财年收益约2.4亿港元去计,收益于上市的8年间已增长了65%,反映公司并非一如部份企业所谓「恢复到疫情前水平」,而是真正做到稳步成长;公司2025财年纯利约4,168.6万元,按年增加2.3%。公司在收益减少下仍保持纯利微增的情况,归功于毛利率提高方面。只要有追踪公司业绩就不难发现,大洋环球上市以来一直努力提升其利润率,以毛利率为例,2025财年做出的16.6%,较上年度增加2.1个百分点,即使对比2018财年的13.1%以至上市前的2017财年的12.2%,均有着明显的提升,都可见公司每年因应市况去积极挖掘高利润产品进行销售之能力。公司2025财年每股基本盈利亦提升2.05%,至14.9港仙。拟派末期息4.2港仙,较上年度的4港仙增加了5%,反映其对一众持续支持公司的股东毫不吝啬,积极回馈股东的一面。截至2025年3月底止,公司之银行及现金结余约1.39亿港元,较2024财年增加32.4%,集团总债务仅约220万元,并无银行借款,资产负债比率约0.8%,反映其手头现金极充裕,财务情况非常稳健。业务及财务基本面稳健 未受本地零售趋势影响失色从公司按客户地区来划分的收益去看,公司主要收益来源仍来自香港客户的收益,2025财年持平在约3.15亿元水平,对比香港政府统计处所公布的2024年全年食肆购货额按年跌1.9%的情况而言,反映公司业务表现合理,而此水平实际亦较2018财年及2019财年分别增长49.4%及16.3%。加上,随着香港主要官员近日再强调会继续积极争取国际大型会议落户香港,吸引更多高端过夜旅客来港,伴随高端旅客而来的高端餐饮消费或被提振下,大洋环球客户的经营环境有望进一步渐入佳境后,相信对公司同样有着利好作用。有趣的是,这家被市场憧憬有着转主板可能的上市公司股价表现,从月线图可见,呈持续上行的走势,今年以来累积升幅已超过四成,单计5月亦累计升27.7%,表现跑赢恒指同期。即便大洋环球于4月15日已就转至联交所主板上市的可能性给出公告说法,公司当日的公告声明已委任专业人士评估及评价可能转板的可能性,惟评估及评价尚处于初步阶段,公司并未就可能转板向联交所提呈正式申请;似乎说法无阻市场的乐观预期。纵使公司于其最新业绩前景展望中未有描绘太多的色彩,仅称「将密切监察市况,尤其本地零售市场(留意到香港市场消费趋势的转变),以及将加强公司节省成本措施。然而,事实上,香港人对海鲜美食的热爱绝对是世界级,可谓有数得计!据联合国粮食及农业组织2023年最新统计显示,每名港人每年平均消耗约65公斤海鲜,高于全球人均消耗量20公斤三倍有余,更高踞全球第五、亚洲第三名。由此可见,大洋环球对这类高端急冻海鲜存在需求及面对着消费者终端有要求的客户提供及时可靠供应的需求,不见得会有着反转式的改变。从联合国粮食及农业组织发布的2024年《世界渔业和水产养殖状况》可见,2022年全球水生动物食品消费量约1.625亿吨,自1961年以来的增长率为世界人口年增长率的近两倍;全球水生动物食品每年人均消费量由1961年的9.1公斤上升至2022年的约20.7公斤,此增长率超过同期所有陆地动物所产肉类食品的增长率。亚洲的水生动物食品消费量占全球总量的71%,其中单计中国就占世界水生动物食品消费量的36%。报告指出,2022年,中国的进口增长率相较于出口增长率更高,按金额计,中国首次成为水生动物产品的净进口国。中国进口最多的水产品是虾类、大西洋鳕、龙虾和螃蟹,此些水产品占中国水生动物产品同期总进口额的51%。不难发现,中国高端海鲜消费市场仍有相当广阔的空间。而这个大洋环球未有大幅着墨的市场,会否成为该公司转板可能性进一步落实后,更具预见性下的其中一个未来增长点,看官或可拭目以待。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

Champion REIT Presents ‘Lupus Reimagined’ Art Exhibition, Connecting Community Through Art ACN Newswire

Champion REIT Presents ‘Lupus Reimagined’ Art Exhibition, Connecting Community Through Art

HONG KONG, Jun 6, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Champion Real Estate Investment Trust (the “Trust”) (Stock Code: 2778), owner of Three Garden Road and Langham Place, has partnered with “My Lupus Diary” (MLD), the first multimedia lupus awareness organisation in Hong Kong, and Eaton Club, a premium coworking space providing venue support, to present “Lupus Reimagined” Art Exhibition at its properties. The exhibition features the original artworks of lupus patients, expressing their journey in facing physical and emotional challenges via the universal language of art. This initiative aims to enhance public awareness and understanding of health, diversity and inclusion. The exhibition features diverse artistic expressions including photographs, paintings, headdresses, and installation art pieces for public viewing. A highlight piece is a warrior armour made from two months' worth of medication taken by one of the patients, symbolising how lupus patients, despite requiring long-term medication, remain strong warriors in their battle against the disease.Champion REIT has long upheld the principles of physical, mental and spiritual health and sustainability, fostering long-term partnerships with the community hoping to harness the synergies from cross-sector collaboration to create a shared social environment. As the principal sponsor of the exhibition, the Trust not only provides a creative platform for patients to express themselves, but also helps enhance public awareness and care for those suffering from rare diseases, as well as fulfilling its corporate responsibility to promote social inclusion.The “Lupus Reimagined” Art Exhibition features the artistic creations of nine lupus warriors, who showcase their emotional transformation, struggles, and growth through various artistic approaches. A highlight of the exhibition is an art photography series co-created by MLD and four well-known Hong Kong models - Janet Ma, Angie N, Ana R and Amanda S. The models wear headdresses created by the lupus patient, symbolising strength and transformation, visually representing the inner resilience of those living with lupus and inspiring society to reframe how it perceives patients’ unique experiences and the value of life.Ms Sapphire Shen, MLD founder, said, “Our three founders are all lupus patients. We hope to use art as a bridge to break down social stigma and misunderstanding, so that society can truly understand the challenges patients face and the courage they afford, thereby helping build a more empathetic and inclusive society.”Earlier on May 10 – World Lupus Day, a series of educational talks on the latest lupus treatments and awareness-raising events were hosted at Eaton Club, Three Garden Road. Building on this successful launch, the art exhibition was officially unveiled to the public at Three Garden Road in May and has been moved to the Langham Place Office Tower in June. A special sharing session will be held on 8 June, where founder Ms Sapphire Shen and the participating models will engage with visitors and patients to share their experiences and stories. In recent years, the Langham Place Office Tower has actively promoted the “6 Dimensions Wellness” concept, a new ecosystem with physical, emotional, intellectual, social, spiritual and financial wellness as its core, providing tenants with a comprehensive physical, mental and spiritual health support platform. Langham Place also launched the “6D Wellness” YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/@6dwellnesslp) in line with that strategy, inviting professionals and guests to share practical health information every week, injecting positive social value into the community.Ms Christina Hau, Chief Executive Officer of Champion REIT, said, “We firmly believe that sustainable business development is inseparable from close community engagement and mutual growth. Thus, the Trust has always prioritised physical, mental and spiritual health, and sustainable development as its core strategies, and has been active in building long-term partnership with the community to promote inclusion and social collaboration. As the venue sponsor of this art exhibition, we hope to offer a platform for different groups to express themselves and gain understanding, allowing more diverse voices to be heard. We will continue to give back to society with concrete actions and contribute to building a more inclusive, harmonious and healthy social environment.”In recent years, the Trust has actively collaborated with various social organisations to create shared value and achieve mutual success for all parties. It held the first “ESG Week” in 2024, partnering with stakeholders to host activities on climate resilience, social innovation and sustainable living. It has also teamed up with the Fullness Social Enterprises Society to invite local social enterprises showcase innovative solutions addressing social issues, and promote social inclusion, cultural diversity, and cross-sector collaboration. To reinforce its ESG commitment, the Trust will hold its annual flagship event “ESG Gala” in late July this year, featuring a broader range of activities co-created with partners to uphold the core values of physical, mental and spiritual health, while amplifying the voices of diversity and inclusion across the society."Lupus Reimagined" 2025 World Lupus Day Art ExhibitionPublic ExhibitionVenue: Lobby, 5th Floor, Langham Place Office Tower, 8 Argyle Street, Mong Kok, KowloonDate: 2 June - 30 June 2025Time: 09:00 - 20:00 (Monday to Sunday)Public Sharing SessionVenue: Lobby, 5th Floor, Langham Place Office Tower, 8 Argyle Street, Mong Kok, KowloonDate: 8 June 2025Time: 12:30 - 17:30 (Sunday)Photo caption:Connecting the community through art, Champion REIT organised the “Lupus Reimagined” Art Exhibition at Langham Place Office Tower, featuring the original artwork of lupus patients.The “Lupus Reimagined” Art Exhibition features the artistic creations of nine lupus warriors, who showcase their emotional transformation, struggles, and growth through various artistic approaches.

TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES “PEM型水电解用电极催化剂的开发与实用化”获得 “2025年度 催化剂工业协会技术奖” ACN Newswire

TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES “PEM型水电解用电极催化剂的开发与实用化”获得 “2025年度 催化剂工业协会技术奖”

东京, 2025年6月6日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 以TANAKA的工业用贵金属展开业务的TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd.(总公司:东京都中央区、执行总裁:田中 浩一朗)宣布在“PEM型水电解用电极催化剂的开发与实用化”上,获得了一般社团法人催化剂工业协会颁发的“2025年度 催化剂工业协会技术奖”,并在6月5日召开的催化剂工业协会颁奖仪式中被授予奖状,同时TANAKA的有马 一庆发表了获奖纪念演讲。为实现碳中和社会的关键技术:“PEM型水电解”为了实现碳中和社会,普及可再生能源不可或缺。然而,可再生能源的主要课题在于无法控制发电的时间。例如,在白天晴朗的日子里可以利用太阳能发电,但在没有阳光的时候就无法发电等课题。为了解决此课题,近年来,利用PEM(Proton Exchange Membrane:质子交换膜)型水电解等技术,通过可再生能源等的多余电力制造和储存氢气,并在需要时作为能源使用的Power to Gas(P2G)技术备受瞩目。也就是说,PEM型水电解已成为实现Power to Gas及碳中和的重要技术。解决PEM型水电解中的技术课题“氢气渗透现象”的新型催化剂技术通过本次获得技术奖的“PEM型水电解用电极催化剂的开发与实用化”,我们成功开发了具有“析氧反应(Oxygen Evolution Reaction:OER)催化剂”和“气体再化合催化剂(Gas Recombination Catalyst:GRC)”双重功能的新型催化剂,并实现了实用化。通过该催化剂技术,我们成功地在水电解反应过程中保持了较高的电解效率,同时高效地降低了阳极端的氢浓度,解决了PEM型水电解中的技术课题——“氢气渗透现象”。“氢气渗透现象”是指在水电解反应时,阴极端生成的氢(H2)气穿过PEM,向含有氧(O2)的阳极端移动的现象,而且具有爆炸和火灾的危险性。以往作为抑制氢气渗透的方法,使用膜厚较厚的PEM,但存在膜厚增加带来电阻上升,从而导致电解效率下降的课题。通过利用本次开发的催化剂,可以实现PEM薄膜化,并显著提高其安全性和电解效率。该催化剂已成功实现量产,目前可向日本国内外客户供应。TANAKA将以该技术为核心,为实现今后日益推进的碳中和社会做出贡献。“2025年度 催化剂工业协会技术奖”获奖内容表彰类别:技术奖获奖人:TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd. 有马 一庆、胡中 彩贵、藤田 光晴、伊藤 瑞希、山下 达大获奖题目:“PEM型水电解用电极催化剂的开发与实用化”※一般社团法人催化剂工业协会是由催化剂制造企业及催化剂相关材料制造企业以及催化剂产品经营企业以促进发展健全的催化剂工业为目的而设立的,是由大型催化剂厂家参加、代表日本的催化剂工业的行业团体。本表彰制度是催化剂工业协会将该年优秀的催化剂相关的先进技术、对催化剂工业贡献度较高的技术分为“技术奖”、“功劳奖”、“特别奖”进行表彰的制度。关于TANAKATANAKA自1885 年(明治18年)创业以来,营业范围以贵金属为中心,并以此展开广泛活动。公司在日本国内拥有非常可观的贵金属交易量, 长年以来不遗余力地进行工业用贵金属制品的制造和销售,以及提供作为宝石饰品及资产的贵金属商品。并且,作为贵金属相关的专家集团,日本国内外的各集团公司进行制造、销售以及技术一体化,携手合作提供产品及服务。2024年度(截至2024年12月)集团总营业额为8,469亿日元,拥有5,591名员工。产业事业全球网站https://www.tanaka.com.cn产品咨询表TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd.https://www.tanaka.com.cn/inquiries-on-industrial-products/新闻媒体咨询处TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL GROUP Co., Ltd.https://www.tanaka.com.cn/inquiries-for-media/新闻稿: https://www.acnnewswire.com/docs/files/20250606_CH.pdf Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

东京, 2025年6月6日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 以TANAKA的工业用贵金属展开业务的TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd.(总公司:东京都中央区、执行总裁:田中 浩一朗)宣布在“PEM型水电解用电极催化剂的开发与实用化”上,获得了一般社团法人催化剂工业协会颁发的“2025年度 催化剂工业协会技术奖”,并在6月5日召开的催化剂工业协会颁奖仪式中被授予奖状,同时TANAKA的有马 一庆发表了获奖纪念演讲。为实现碳中和社会的关键技术:“PEM型水电解”为了实现碳中和社会,普及可再生能源不可或缺。然而,可再生能源的主要课题在于无法控制发电的时间。例如,在白天晴朗的日子里可以利用太阳能发电,但在没有阳光的时候就无法发电等课题。为了解决此课题,近年来,利用PEM(Proton Exchange Membrane:质子交换膜)型水电解等技术,通过可再生能源等的多余电力制造和储存氢气,并在需要时作为能源使用的Power to Gas(P2G)技术备受瞩目。也就是说,PEM型水电解已成为实现Power to Gas及碳中和的重要技术。解决PEM型水电解中的技术课题“氢气渗透现象”的新型催化剂技术通过本次获得技术奖的“PEM型水电解用电极催化剂的开发与实用化”,我们成功开发了具有“析氧反应(Oxygen Evolution Reaction:OER)催化剂”和“气体再化合催化剂(Gas Recombination Catalyst:GRC)”双重功能的新型催化剂,并实现了实用化。通过该催化剂技术,我们成功地在水电解反应过程中保持了较高的电解效率,同时高效地降低了阳极端的氢浓度,解决了PEM型水电解中的技术课题——“氢气渗透现象”。“氢气渗透现象”是指在水电解反应时,阴极端生成的氢(H2)气穿过PEM,向含有氧(O2)的阳极端移动的现象,而且具有爆炸和火灾的危险性。以往作为抑制氢气渗透的方法,使用膜厚较厚的PEM,但存在膜厚增加带来电阻上升,从而导致电解效率下降的课题。通过利用本次开发的催化剂,可以实现PEM薄膜化,并显著提高其安全性和电解效率。该催化剂已成功实现量产,目前可向日本国内外客户供应。TANAKA将以该技术为核心,为实现今后日益推进的碳中和社会做出贡献。“2025年度 催化剂工业协会技术奖”获奖内容表彰类别:技术奖获奖人:TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd. 有马 一庆、胡中 彩贵、藤田 光晴、伊藤 瑞希、山下 达大获奖题目:“PEM型水电解用电极催化剂的开发与实用化”※一般社团法人催化剂工业协会是由催化剂制造企业及催化剂相关材料制造企业以及催化剂产品经营企业以促进发展健全的催化剂工业为目的而设立的,是由大型催化剂厂家参加、代表日本的催化剂工业的行业团体。本表彰制度是催化剂工业协会将该年优秀的催化剂相关的先进技术、对催化剂工业贡献度较高的技术分为“技术奖”、“功劳奖”、“特别奖”进行表彰的制度。关于TANAKATANAKA自1885 年(明治18年)创业以来,营业范围以贵金属为中心,并以此展开广泛活动。公司在日本国内拥有非常可观的贵金属交易量, 长年以来不遗余力地进行工业用贵金属制品的制造和销售,以及提供作为宝石饰品及资产的贵金属商品。并且,作为贵金属相关的专家集团,日本国内外的各集团公司进行制造、销售以及技术一体化,携手合作提供产品及服务。2024年度(截至2024年12月)集团总营业额为8,469亿日元,拥有5,591名员工。产业事业全球网站https://www.tanaka.com.cn产品咨询表TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd.https://www.tanaka.com.cn/inquiries-on-industrial-products/新闻媒体咨询处TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL GROUP Co., Ltd.https://www.tanaka.com.cn/inquiries-for-media/新闻稿: https://www.acnnewswire.com/docs/files/20250606_CH.pdf Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

TF International Facilitates Hong Kong’s Successful Issuance of First Central Asian Sovereign Bond ACN Newswire

TF International Facilitates Hong Kong’s Successful Issuance of First Central Asian Sovereign Bond

HONG KONG, Jun 4, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - TF International Securities Group Limited (“TF International”) together with China CITIC Bank International Limited, Citigroup Global Markets Limited and Oppenheimer & Co. Inc announced the successful assistance in the Kyrgyz Republic's issuance of a 5-year USD benchmark international bond (represented by the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic acting through the Ministry of Finance of the Kyrgyz Republic). Originally targeting an issuance size of approximately USD 500 million, the transaction saw overwhelming market demand during bookbuilding, with peak orders exceeding USD 2.1 billion (including USD 50 million underwriter's order) from over 130 investors. The final issuance size was upsized to USD 700 million with a coupon rate of 7.75%. This fully reflects the global capital market’s strong confidence in the Kyrgyz Republic’s economic development prospects and TF International’s cross-border financing capabilities.Central Asia’s Ice-Breaking Sovereign Bond Debut Pioneers New Cross-Border Financing ParadigmThis landmark transaction marks the first USD bond issuance by a Central Asian sovereign issuer in international capital markets, and represents a milestone for TF International in the field of Central Asian sovereign bond underwriting. By leveraging its global investor network and localized service strengths, TF International together with the other Global Coordinators efficiently managed cross-time-zone bookbuilding and precisely captured the optimal market window. This enabled Kyrgyz Republic’s successful debut in the international USD bond market with oversubscription, laying a solid foundation for the nation to diversify its future financing channels.The bond issuer, the Kyrgyz Republic (rated B+ by S&P, B by Fitch, and B3 by Moody’s), will utilize the proceeds to support its national budget, with a focus on financing hydroelectric power projects and infrastructure projects. The Kyrgyz Republic, as one of the earliest countries to support and engage in the Belt and Road Initiative, has seen increasingly close economic and trade relations with China. TF International signed a memorandum of understanding with the Kyrgyz Republic Ministry of Finance earlier, becoming the first Hong Kong-based Chinese securities firm to establish an official partnership with The Kyrgyz Republic Ministry of Finance.Building a Diversified Financial Services Ecosystem for the Belt and Road Initiative from Hong KongMr. Amanbaev Umutzhan Mominovich, Deputy Minister of Finance–Director of the Central Treasury, Ministry of Finance of The Kyrgyz Republic, expressed his gratitude to the Global Coordinators for the efforts and successful closing of this debut transaction. He said: "This is our first step on the international debt capital markets. We are going to maintain our presence and become a frequent issuer for further development of our country’s debt profile and meet the needs of The Kyrgyz Republic economy. This inaugural bond issuance has not only optimized the national debt structure but also raised capital at competitive rates, providing strong support for the nation's critical development projects. The oversubscription of this issuance fully demonstrates the international market's recognition of Kyrgyzstan's economic prospects and sovereign credit. It has laid a solid foundation for the country to continuously attract international capital, deepen financial openness, and integrate into the global economy, representing a crucial step towards financial autonomy and global integration."Mr. Alexander Shupletsov, Head of Emerging Markets Coverage, Belt and Road Business Department at TF International, said: "Moving forward, TF International will continue to serve as a strategic bridge, deepening capital connectivity with countries and regions along the Belt and Road. Through diversified financial services, we will promote funding facilitation and advance the sustainable development of Hong Kong as an international capital market. I would like to emphasize the importance of Hong Kong as the funding hub for Belt and Road countries. In addition to The London Stock Exchange listing, the bonds are also listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong(the first sovereign bond from Central Asia listed at HKEX). It would allow The Kyrgyz Republic to strengthen its recognition among Chinese and Asian investors. This milestone transaction was a very big step for The Kyrgyz Republic to diversify their sources of funding, build up its debt profile and create the country’s yield curve as a funding benchmark.”Embodying the SCO Spirit: A New Chapter in Regional Economic Cooperation and Sustainable DevelopmentAs the second China-Central Asia Summit approaches and the SCO’s “China Year” events gain momentum, The Kyrgyz Republic’s bond issuance marks a concrete step by Chinese financial institutions in supporting regional economic cooperation. It reflects China’s strong commitment to advancing development through financial connectivity and showcases the collaborative spirit between China and SCO member states. By deepening multilateral financial cooperation and promoting resource sharing, The Kyrgyz Republic is accelerating its integration into the global financial system and turning the vision of sustainable growth and shared prosperity into reality.Mr. ZOU Chuan, CEO of TF International, stated: “The successful issuance of this sovereign USD bond by Kyrgyz Republic marks a significant achievement in Belt and Road financial cooperation and a concrete step toward delivering on China’s national strategy and the SCO Year of Sustainable Development for the SCO Summit 2025. The deal strengthens Hong Kong’s role as a global debt financing hub and reflects a growing trend of Belt and Road countries - starting with Central Asia - shifting offshore fundraising to Hong Kong and exploring diversified financing channels. It also signals meaningful progress in the internationalization of the renminbi, as it begins to play a significant role in sovereign balance sheets.

The Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB), which serves as the country's single regulator, has played a vital role in fostering fintech innovation through its dedicated Fintech Innovation Unit and pioneering regulatory frameworks. The CBB's onshore Regulatory Sandbox, the first of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, provides a secure environment for local and international fintech companies to test and develop new technologies, supporting the growth of a resilient and compliant fintech ecosystem.Building on the success of previous editions, which drew participants from across the globe, Fintech Forward has established itself as a key platform for industry leaders to share insights, foster collaboration, and drive regional fintech advancement.For more information and to register interest in Fintech Forward 2025, please visit the website.
