The Brazilian government plans to announce this month a fundraising in the Chinese financial market through the issuance of public bonds in yuan, the Chinese currency. The information was released by Reuters based on two sources that follow the matter.
With this, Brazil intends to sell the so-called Panda Bonds, debt securities issued by governments or foreign companies in the Chinese financial market and traded in yuan, to Chinese investors.
By purchasing these bonds, investors lend money to the Brazilian government, which undertakes to return the resources in the future with the payment of interest.
If the operation is confirmed, it will be the first time that Brazil will seek financing through this instrument in the Chinese market.

The initiative takes place a few months after the country carried out its first bond issue in euros since 2014. In April, the government raised 5 billion euros (about of R$ 29 billion) with international investors.
According to Reuters, the issuance of Panda Bonds is part of the Ministry of Finance's strategy to diversify the country's sources of financing and expand its presence in international markets.
The idea is to reduce dependence on the dollar and access investors from other regions of the world, especially China.
The announcement should take place during a trip by Brazilian authorities to Shanghai and Beijing, between the 24th and 26th of June. The agenda will be led by the Minister of Finance, Dario Durigan. When contacted by Reuters, the ministry did not comment on the matter.

The visit takes place at a time of strengthening economic relations between Brazil and China, Brazil's main trading partner.
Last year, Brazil was the main destination for Chinese investments in the world, receiving US$6.1 billion (around R$30 billion) in new projects and businesses, according to a report by the Brazil-China Business Council (CEBC).
The value represents 10.9% of all Chinese investments made abroad in the period, placing Brazil ahead of countries such as the United States, Indonesia and Kazakhstan. Furthermore, the country was the only one to remain among the top five destinations for Chinese capital in the last five years.
The movement also occurs amid tensions with the USA, after President Donald Trump's government proposed new tariffs on Brazilian products and classified criminal factions in the country as terrorist organizations.
Before the trip, representatives from both countries will participate in a meeting of a bilateral financial subcommittee.
According to Reuters, the Brazilian government also intends to present initiatives linked to the sustainability agenda, such as the Eco Invest Brasil program, the Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF) project, aimed at preserving tropical forests, and advances in creating a regulated carbon market.
The expectation is that these measures will help attract more Chinese investment to strategic sectors of the Brazilian economy.
