Chinese companies raised over three times more from bonds than from equities this year, Bloomberg reported Monday.

Corporate bond sales totaled 100 billion yuan ($15.2 billion) since Jan 1, up 60 percent from a year earlier and the most since Bloomberg started tracking the data in 1999.

A-share sales in 2011 have totaled 28.8 billion yuan, down from 34 billion yuan a year earlier, according to Bloomberg data.
