DCM underwriting fees, which captured 53.2% of the total investment banking fees, reached US$10.7 billion and surpassed last year’s record high by 17.3%. ECM underwriting fees also hit an all-time high with the biggest growth this year, up 102.4% from last year and totaled US$7.1 billion. Advisory fees from completed M&A deals saw a 23.0% increase from a year ago and totaled US$1.2 billion. Syndicated lending fees amounted to US$1.1 billion, a 6.9% decline from 2019. CITIC topped China’s investment banking fee league table with a total of US$1.5 billion in estimated fees or 7.4% share of the total fee pool. Mergers & Acquisitions Mergers & acquisitions (M&A) involving China hit a three-year high and totaled US$581.3 billion in 2020, a 30.1% increase from a year ago, driven by domestic consolidations. Number of announced deals fell 1.1% year-on-year as headwinds continued to deter deal making activity - from regulatory hurdles, geopolitical tensions, protectionist sentiments to the recent global coronavirus pandemic. Fourth quarter activity totaled US$167.6 billion, down 26.4% from a strong third quarter in 2020, but a 17.3% increase from fourth quarter of 2019. Chinese outbound acquisitions saw its fourth annual decline since the record high in 2016 and totaled US$37.1 billion, down 15.1% compared to a year ago, making it the lowest annual period since 2007 (US$30.1 billion). China slipped down the ranking to eighth place as most active acquiror nation for global cross-border activity this year, after being one of the largest acquirers of overseas assets during its peak in 2016. Chinese acquisitions along Belt & Road nations saw 113 deals worth US$8.3 billion this year, down 33.7% from a year ago, and accounted for 22.3% of the total Chinese outbound acquisitions. Foreign firms acquiring Chinese companies amounted to US$44.8 billion this year, a 4.3% increase from 2019. However, the number of inbound deals fell 12.0% from a year ago and saw its slowest period in more than a decade. Domestic activity reached a five- year high and totaled US$478.5 billion, a 38.8% increase from last year, as deal count grew 2.9%. Deal making activity involving China targeted the Energy & Power sector which captured 20.8% market share and totaled US$120.6 billion, up 182.0% from last year. Chinese state-owned China Oil & Gas Pipeline Network Corp (PipeChina) acquired the pipeline assets of PetroChina Co Ltd for an estimated US$49.1 billion. The deal is currently the largest on record involving Asia Pacific, surpassing the previous record holder - Cheung Kong’s US$45.4 billion acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa in 2015. It also topped China’s biggest M&A deal in history - the US$44.0 billion ChemChina- Syngenta transaction in 2016. Concurrently, as China consolidates its oil and gas pipeline, PipeChina also acquired pipeline assets from Sinopec with a total of 4 deals worth US$25.6 billion. This brings PipeChina’s acquisition of PetroChina and Sinopec’s oil & gas pipeline assets to an aggregate total of US$74.8 billion. In December, PipeChina also agreed to acquire a 75% interest in PetroChina Dalian LNG Co Ltd and 60% interest in PetroChina Beijing Natural Gas Pipeline Co Ltd from Kunlun Energy Co Ltd, for a combined value of US$6.2 billion. High Technology followed in second place with 16.8% market share worth US$97.4 billion, an 83.8% increase from a year ago.

Number of equity issuances also saw the busiest annual period and grew 73.0% year-on-year.

Number of IPOs hit record levels and jumped 66.3% from a year ago. A-Share IPO and secondary listings reached a decade high in 2020 with US$59.3 billion in proceeds, up 78.7% from a year ago, as number of A-Share new listings grew 96.0%. Excluding secondary listings, Beijing-Shanghai High Speed Railway raised US$4.4 billion via IPO in January, making it the biggest IPO globally so far this year. Shanghai Stock Exchange’s STAR Market, launched in July 2019, accounted for 44.2% of the A-Share IPO proceeds and totaled US$26.2 billion, up 140.8% year-on-year. Chinese IPOs and secondary listings in Hong Kong (Mainboard and GEM) grew 69.9% from last year to US$49.9 billion, with a 17.4% growth in number of IPOs. In June, JD.com and NetEase debuted their secondary listings in Hong Kong, raising a total of US$7.0 billion, underlining a trend of US-listed Chinese companies pursuing secondary listings closer to home. Highly anticipated Ant Group's blockbuster IPO was suspended due to regulatory concerns, days before its planned dual listing in Shanghai and Hong Kong. Chinese IPOs in the United States raised US$11.7 billion, a 241.6% increase from a year ago, and the highest annual total since 2014 (US$29.0 billion). Follow-on offerings totaled US$105.8 billion, up 238.7% year-on-year, surpassing the record set in 2016 (US$95.2 billion). Chinese convertibles, or equity-linked issuance, totaled US$50.5 billion, a 2.4% growth after last year’s record high, as number of convertible offerings saw the busiest period this year. Equity offerings across major sectors saw year-on-year growth with High Technology taking the lead with 15.9% market share worth US$44.7 billion, more than double the proceeds seen in 2019. Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp’s (SMIC) US$7.5 billion secondary listing in Shanghai’s STAR Market is the largest Chinese equity offering so far this year. Industrials captured 15.3% market share and raised US$43.1 billion, up 201.4% from a year ago. Healthcare and Financials represented 13.2% and 11.7% market share, respectively. CITIC currently leads the rankings this year for China ECM underwriting, capturing 9.7% market share with US$27.3 billion in related proceeds. China International Capital Co (CICC) followed in second place with 8.0% market share worth US$22.4 billion in proceeds while Morgan Stanley took third place with 7.3% market share. Debt Capital Markets Primary bond offerings from China-domiciled issuers remained strong and continued to break records, raising US$2.3 trillion in 2020, a 24.7% increase from last year, as number of bond offerings saw its busiest-ever annual period in 2020. Government & Agencies accounted for 44.2% of China’s bond proceeds worth US$1.0 trillion, up 34.1% from a year ago, making it the best-ever annual period on record. Financials captured 32.4% market share and raised US$752.8 billion, up 23.3% year-on-year. This was driven by three jumbo issuances: Agricultural Bank of China’s onshore perpetual bond issuance worth US$12.0 billion, Postal Savings Bank’s US$11.4 billion perpetual bond and Bank of China’s US$11.1 billion Tier 2 bonds.

    Reform Is in the Pipelines: Pipechina and the Restructuring of China's

    REFORM IS IN THE PIPELINES: PIPECHINA AND THE RESTRUCTURING OF CHINA’S NATURAL GAS MARKET BY ERICA DOWNS AND SHENG YAN SEPTEMBER 2020 Key Takeaways Beijing launched the most ambitious reform of China’s oil and natural gas industry in more than two decades with the establishment of the China Oil & Gas Piping Network Corporation (PipeChina) last December. The company is being developed from midstream assets— pipelines, liquified natural gas (LNG) import terminals, and storage facilities—and personnel transferred from China’s national oil companies (NOCs). Beijing expects that its goals of increasing China’s domestic and imported natural gas supplies and consumption will be more effectively advanced by having China’s midstream infrastructure owned and operated by a single company that provides fair and open access to its pipelines, LNG import terminals, and storage facilities instead of by three NOCs reluctant to grant third-party access to infrastructure. The specific objectives Beijing intends for PipeChina to further include: ● Growing China’s natural gas output by expanding the number of companies involved in the upstream (exploration and production) ● Reducing natural gas prices and increasing natural gas use by creating a more competitive downstream (processing, sales and distribution) ● Developing a unified national pipeline network to more efficiently distribute natural gas around the country If PipeChina delivers these outcomes—which depends, in part, on the enforcement of third- party access rules—there is likely to be an increasing number of new participants in China’s natural gas markets, especially LNG importers, which in turn should create new opportunities for LNG exporters. Introduction On December 9, 2019, Beijing legally established a new player in China’s oil and natural gas industry, the China Oil & Gas Piping Network Corporation (PipeChina).
