Chinese authorities have ambitious plans to "internationalize"
the renminbi, transforming it from a tightly controlled domestic
legal tender into a global currency for international trade, held
by both private and public sector asset managers. The Offshore
Renminbi examines this impending currency revolution, outlining
why the emergence of China as a major economic power will likely
soon be matched by a transformation of the renminbi's role in the
global financial system. It explains how new markets for "offshore"
renminbi are developing outside mainland China since the country is
not yet ready to fully open up its economy to international capital
flows, and the regulations that govern them.
The potential growth for the renminbi market is vast, thanks to
China's role in the global trading community. The early stages of
the internationalization effort were small-scale, but momentum has
greatly increased over the past 18 months, making this book more
relevant than ever. These developments offer new opportunities (and
challenges) for corporate treasurers and investors, as China's
profound economic success and growing prominence in global trade
may transform offshore renminbi into a new global reserve currency
and a legitimate competitor to the U.S. dollar.
* Explores how the "internationalization" of the renminbi is
likely to yield a new global currency to rival the U.S. dollar
* Examines "offshore" renminbi and the host of new financial
markets they have created, from a spot FX market to Dim Sum bonds
in Hong Kong
* Covers broad themes of interest to general readers and
policymakers, as well as more detailed issues of practical and
direct importance to corporate treasurers and investors
The Chinese government has ambitious plans to make the renminbi
a global currency. The Offshore Renminbi explains the
complexities of this strategy and the dramatic implications for the
global FX markets.
