The bills, which will mature in six months, are the third batch issued by the People's Bank of China (PBOC), the central bank, this year, according to a statement on the website of the PBOC.
The move aims to enrich yuan-investment products with high credit ratings in Hong Kong and improve the yield curve of yuan bonds, it added.
Since November 2018, the central bank has established a normal mechanism of issuing central bank bills in Hong Kong. Last month, the first two batches totaling 30 billion yuan were issued in the city.
