As of September 30, 2025, the outstanding amount of science - innovation bonds is 2.8286 trillion yuan, dominated by science - innovation corporate bonds, with industrial entities having a high proportion in all three types of bonds [8][25][93]. - In the primary market, the issuance scale of science - innovation bonds has increased from 500 million yuan in 2020 to over 125 billion yuan as of September 30, 2025.

High - rated, medium - short - term, and publicly - issued varieties have better liquidity. The excess spread is generally lower than that of non - science - innovation bonds of the same issuer, the trading deviation is smaller, and the proportion of TKN trading volume is higher than that of credit bonds [10][72][93]. 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Development Context - The development of science - innovation bonds has gone through three stages: the institutional exploration period of "dual - innovation bonds" from 2015 - 2017, the rapid growth period of forming a "stock exchange + inter - bank market" dual - market pattern in 2022, and the mature stage with the launch of the "technology board" in the bond market and policy upgrades in 2025 [7][17][93]. 3.2 Fundamental Core - Differences from "dual - innovation bonds": "Dual - innovation bonds" are limited to innovation and entrepreneurship and venture capital companies, issued only on the exchange with a 3 - 5 - year term, and used for early - stage equity investment.
