Renminbi Internationalisation Policy and Progress 2021 Report – Based on Official Data and Policy Statements by the Chinese Central Bank – ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “The 2020 – 2021 Renminbi Internationalisation Policy and Progress Report” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The 2020-2021 Renminbi Internationalisation Policy and Progress Report provides an overview of China’s ongoing efforts to drive greater offshore usage and internationalisation of its official currency in 2020 and 2021, based upon official data and policy statements made by the Chinese central bank (PBOC).

Renminbi internationalisation has continued to make major strides since the start of 2020, despite the severe adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic upon the global economy.

These impacts included worsening trade relation between China and the United States, severe restrictions on international travel, and critical supply chain disruptions.

Internationalisation of the renminbi was nonetheless abetted by a range of factors, including China’s ongoing commitment to financial opening and liberalisation, as well as its advance recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

China’s successful containment of COVID-19 made it the only major economy to post positive growth in 2020, and enabled PBOC to retain normal monetary policy settings and positive interest rates.

This heightened the appeal of renminbi financial assets during a period when central banks around the globe were unleashing liquidity and slashing interest rates.
