亚洲本币债券市场吸引国际投资者

Global investors are buying into the booming Asian local-currency bond market, seeking out the high yields being offered from Indonesia to Sri Lanka and betting on currency appreciation, too.

全球投资者正在投资亚洲欣欣向荣的本币债券市场，试图分享从印度尼西亚到斯里兰卡等国发行的本币债券所能提供的高收益率，同时押注这些国家的货币能够升值。

The debt is attracting international money managers, such as BlackRock Inc., keen to improve their returns and diversify their portfolios.

亚洲本币债券正在吸引贝莱德(BlackRock Inc.)等迫切希望提高投资回报、实现投资对象多样化的跨国性资产管理公司。

Asian corporate bonds in the J.P. Morgan Asia Credit Index yield some 2 percentage points more than bonds issued in developed Western countries, analysts say. While the index measures dollar-denominated debt, investors say it also is a good gauge for local-currency markets.

分析师称，摩根大通亚洲信贷指数(J.P. Morgan Asia Credit Index)所涵盖的亚洲公司债，其收益率比西方发达国家发行的债券高约两个百分点。虽然该指数衡量的是美元计价债券，但投资者说它也是衡量本币债券市场的一项可靠指标。

The increased demand from foreign investors has helped push issuance to a record high, as both companies and governments take advantage of the greater appetite. Sales of local-currency bonds in Asia, excluding Japan, have reached $520.9 billion this year, compared with the previous record of $482.0 billion in 2011, according to data provider Dealogic.
