Corporate Bond Financing Study

In developed countries,which have market economies,funds raised from capital market are an important source of corporate financing,in which the proportion of bond financing is much higher than that of stock financing.With the establishment of the market economy and modern corporate governance,Chinese companies are gradually becoming real manufacturers of products in every sense,who can make their own decisions and take responsibility for their decisions as well. Financing is an inevitable problem in the process of marketization and globalization.
