This paper reviews the relevant literature on the cost of bond financing, and finds that scholars at home and abroad have done a lot of research on the influencing factors of the cost of bond financing mainly from the macro level and micro level, among which the micro level is from the perspective of the characteristics of bonds and the issuers. In addition, there are also a few scholars who consider the social and executive influences. However, with the vigorous development of the bond market and the increasing competition in the product market, the future research can turn to the influencing factors of the medium level such as the product market.
