Hong Kong’s Financial Services Development Council has proposed allowing pension funds from the Chinese mainland to buy bonds traded in the city through Southbound Bond Connect.

The advisory body recommended studying the change in a report released Wednesday. Vice chair Ding Chen told Caixin that any decision would require discussions between mainland authorities and Hong Kong regulators. No timetable has been set.
