Nasdaq Dubai seeks Chinese bond listings

Nasdaq Dubai is hoping to lure more bond listings from China, said the Gulf Cooperation Council's second-biggest trading partner after the bourse signed its first deal earlier this month with the emirate.

The exchange is in talks with several unidentified Chinese companies, including banks, about listing securities, Chief Executive Officer Hamed Ali said in an interview this week.

The value of bonds on Nasdaq Dubai almost doubled this year to $26 billion, according to a spokesman for the exchange.
